How to edit start page?

This may seem like a stupid question but I've been going through the admin area over and over again and cannot find where the 'start' page is edited. I see the 'home' page which is the next page in and has all the text for their template (on the demo), but I am unable to find where the start page is controlled that has the gallery and the bottom links.

Also, which gallery tool is that on the demo start page? Hot joomla gallery or random images? Neither seems to have the right size imagery specified in the admin tool.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi,
To select front page articles use Content->Front Page Manager
To select pages where will modules appear go to Extensions->Module manager
, then enter module settings and you will see "Menu Assignment" where you can control on which page(s) will module appear (hold CTRL when clicking to select multiple).

That is "HOT Newsflash" module on start page.

Thanks Ivan. I had finally figured it out but it took me a couple of hours of digging to find which module was being used where.

I just have one thing left that I need to edit and that is to be able to make the selected or 'active' navigation link be black. I've tried editing the 'active' in stylesheet but it has no effect. I may need to post this as a separate question though since people may not see it here. Thanks.

The default entity is :

#nav li.active {
background: #8B8B8B;
}

that is in php file : templates\hot_furniturestore\css\template_css.php

Or you can put you override in index.php of template just before </head> in style block because it has higher priority there.

I actually already tried adding the black color there earlier today. I think I've tried changing just about every instance I can find of it and it doesn't seem to have any effect.

My 'template_css.php' looks like this as default:

#nav li.active {
background:<?php echo $topMenuTabActive; ?>;
}

When I tried adding 'color: #000000;' it didn't have any effect.

Then try to add !important flag so you would end up with this (I'am not sure do you want to change background color or text color so I'am putting both properties):

#nav li.active {
background:#000000!important;
color:#000000!important;
}
