Front page customization.
My Problem:
I'm running Elgg 1.6 and the Theme/Plugin BuddyTalk. Visitors land on a main page -- the page contains the following widgets: Login & Register block (of course), Latest Groups, Newest Members, Latest Bookmarks and Latest Blog Posts. Now I'm sure there is a way to control WHAT widgets appear on the main page, but that's not my interest. I would like to clear the space completely (with the exception of the Login/Register block, so that I can add a welcome letter (a graphic) in the space where widgets ordinarily appear so what you would have is something like this: http://toceffect.com/elggwish.png
I apologize for the crude illustration, I was going for simple :) I can handle this, I'm a pretty crafty fellow -- but I can't seem to find WHERE this area is controlled! I can edit the Elgg Toolbar, easy to find. I can change the footer.php and header.php EASY to find. I can't find the .php file that deals with this main area content. Is it a css.php file? Could someone help me out a little?
Thanks,
Tanner Campbell
@Shouvrik: nice looking home page there on serampore.tk. Clean and simple yet stylish.
@Alan: You can also do the same trick from inside the relevant css file for the plugin. Something like:
So anytime the layout_header appears inside that div wrapper it wont show.
@Trajan: I think my issue was that I stared at the code for so long I couldn't find the right spot in the css to do the trick. LOL So just doing it in the appropriate file worked for me. I used to do nothing but css to build webpages where I could, and am self-taught in both html and css. But php is a whole new story for me.

@Shouvik Mukherjee: very very thank you! it works :)
