Loading a Joomla component instead of article for the front page

Question

I want to load a Joomla component for the front page and not an article. How would I do that?

Thanks!

To simplify, I want to load a component for the front page and not an article. That would do it. — Paul V, Sep 06 '12 at 04:01

At first I wasn't too sure what you needed, then saw your comment.

If you want to load a component on the homepage, then create a new menu item, linking to the component, then set that menu item to "default".

Hope this helps

That did the trick. Now I just need to rewrite some of the template code. Thanks Lodder! – Paul V Sep 06 '12 at 04:18
