For various reasons I'd like to have the Home on my site menu go to /home (and the About go to /about and so on.) Creating /home and the sections that go into it which get managed as child pages - for editing/organization reasons - isn't the problem. The problem is that people visit

I've built probably 20 sites in radiant and although each site has similar requirements, there are just as many differences. I usually have a default set of pages and CSS I create and I always use the nested_layouts extension by default. Usually Home pages are different than child pages so I give
