  So far I have only done that with the side bar and regular templates.

  “The problem is when I set the static front page to showcase template. It shows the posts in it.”

  Ok, I purchased the Custom Design Upgrade in my other blog, fabricaliteraria.com, and maybe I´ll use the showcase template there.

  Can you help me with the code?
