Is there a way to set a category page as my home page? Or on the home page column 2 to set a category simple list?

Thanks,
d.

You could always redirect the homepage to a category page. I'm not sure that I would recommend that from an SEO standpoint, but I've certainly seen it done plenty of times on some pretty large sites.

Short of creating a custom Content Block, you could always use an HTML block or, if you wanted a grid, use Category Rotator blocks.

Thanks Aaron,

How would I do the first option....at the server level (new default document)?

Thanks,
Derek

You would replace the /Default.aspx page with a page that performs a redirect to your category URL.

I just had another (even crazier) thought. If you set the "Rewrite To" URL of the category to "/Default.aspx" it might show up as the homepage. You'll have to test it...
