Cut and past php code to determine if it is the wordpress blog home page (and only the home page itself).

[php]<?php if (is_home() && !is_paged()): ?>[/php]

Example, to print john if it is a “homepage” templated page and jill otherwise:

[php]<?php if (is_home(); ?>

<?php
if($name == ‘john’){
echo ‘Hi John’;
}else if($name == ‘jill’){
echo ‘Hi Jill’;
}else{
echo ‘Hi’;
}
?>[/php]
