Determine Home Page

I'm a newbie to Drupal Theme development, and I'm starting with
BlueMarine because we want a table based theme.
We're porting a static HTML web-site to Drupal, and it's all table-based.  
I'm gonna have to use that Import-HTML module to get the main content
into Drupal.

So this static web-site has it's own primary links in the header, and
it's not consistent.
One one home-page I have 6 items, on most of the other pages it is 3
items, and a few have 4 items.
So, I am just wondering how I can determine which page is the home page ...
then I can do some PHP to determine how to output that header menu.

BTW, I did order the Drupal 5 Themes book, I own the Packt Drupal book,
and the Pro Drupal Development book.
I am also on the Drupal site and looking at the documentation of how to
create a theme.
So, I am doing as much research as possible.  

Thanks!
                            Tom

Having individual template pages like page-node-N.tpl.php where N > 0 might
help.  But there might be a better solution which I don't know :-(

isset($is_front)
{
    ...
}

Hi,
I'd suggest you "theming like a pro" screencast at drupaldojo.com. I don't have the direct link now but see drupaldojo.com it'll be of great help for you.
