2 items: Breadcrumb Logic, top div area for welcome
 

I have 2 issues that I'm working to resolve with our new store site:

1) I would like to have the breadcrumb removed from the home page (so it's not over the top of the welcome area), but have it show up on the other pages. I can guess that this would involve an if statement somewhere, but I'm honestly not knowledgable with this and don't know exactly how to write it or place it.

2) in a related way, the way our current site is set up the welcome area is the same background color as the rest of the site, so the text doesn't stand out well. I would like to have the top have a white background, but only that area and not the whole page. I changed the css file to give the background the color, but didn't see a specific welcome/head area that I could change the color. Maybe this would involve making a new div area as only the top? Is this something that the rectangle_top.tpl can be changed to?

I'm using the latest .17 version with all patches in place.
The dev site is: www.nerien.com

updated somewhat
 

I looked a bit more, maybe my 2nd issue is actually in welcome.tpl. I don't know how but it would be nice to place the white around the text that shows in this.

Okay, 2nd issue resolved
 

Duh, I was able to add a div around the text and assign it a css style background. So that's done. Now I just need the remove breadcrumb from main page thing done.

perfect
 

That was absolutely perfect. Thank you very much for helping out.
