 ====== Using A Separate Footer On Your Front Page ======
-Some websites use a separate footer containing extra information (usually for SEO purposes) on their front page. This is usually done by determining if the current page is the homepage in the footer template and then treating that footer differently. This dynamic logic makes the footer cache unfriendly, as LiteMage will punch a hole for the "footer" block as a public block. This means that whichever version of the footer, specialized or not, LiteMage encounters first will be be the version that is served on every page.

+In the existing footer template "footer.phtml", there is a PHP script that dynamically determines whether the current page is the home page.
