Can't alter blog settings for home page

Hi,

I am trying to set up my home page blog setting so that I have only one article showing in full mode, and the others displaying in a two column form, but it still displays all articles in full mode. Also, it leaves a lot of space between the articles when there is no extra space after the article.

Another problem I am having, is that in some of the pages at the end of the articles it is written '_:default', I don't know why.

Please help.

You can not control that on responsive template because it's js run-time will collect you articles , destroy original layout and rebuild it so they fit it's layout.

Ok. Thank you.
