in response to Jono Farrington:
I have a newbie question. What I want to do is replicate the current home page (static front page in settings), to an inner url i.e domains.com/xyz, and then set this to the home page. Is there an easy to way to replicate the widgetized homepage? Thanks, Jono
A front-page.php file is only used for the front page of the site. But if you name it something else, like template-home.php and add /* Template Name: Home */ at the top of the file, it will now be a page template available for any page. When editing a page, in the right column you can select what template is used.
