8. Hide Page Title: This is not used on the Home Page
9. Show in Navigation: Check this if you want the home page to be displayed in the Navigation. In order to change the link in navigation from "Index" to something like "Home" you must change the label name in the navigation section.
10. Location: This cannot be changed for the INDEX page (aka Homepage).
11. Header Image: This is where to enter a header image.
12. Rotator: This is where to enter a rotator.
13: Template: While you can change the template, the Home Page template is created specifically for Index and should be kept as homepage in order to utilize sections.

14: Sections: Sections are the best way to utilize your home page to make it both unique and informative. 

Sections 1-09: These sections can be changed around. If you are going to use any of the pre-designed sections, it is recommended to only use sections with "Home" in their title. Other types sections (especially Sidebar sections) are not intended to be used for the INDEX page. Most of the pre-designed sections use a monklet to pull in information from other modules (examples: Events Module, Sermons Module, etc.) but some sections use the regular content editor to display some or all of the section content.

Feel free to play around with the order and what sections are shown/not shown. Use the "edit section" to the right of the section to edit any information located within this section. This allows for easy editing and navigation when working on the home page. 

Also, For an example of some of the other pre-designed sections that can be added to your INDEX Page, please review the Complex Homepage (CONTENT > Pages > Complex Home).

You can also create your own sections by going to CONTENT > Sections > Add New Section if you would like.
