Sidebar on all pages but homepage

I want to create a themechild that has the sidebar on all pages but the homepage. I can use the section widget or different templates to remove the content of the sidebar, but I actually want to recoup the space and move the content into the sidebar area and expand the width on the homepage. In my style.css I have the container floating right and the .main-aside floating left. How can I change the way the homepage is built so that it uses only a wide container that doesn't float?

Thanks,
Anya

There's several ways of doing this but the quick and easy way is by using css. Just add this to your child theme style.css
```
.home #container {width:960px;}
.home #content {width:940px;}
.home #primary, .home #secondary {display:none;}
```
You can adjust the widths to suit your needs.

Couldn't you use WordPress conditionals to remove the sidebar filter if it's the homepage?

Yes .. you can .. basically it's the code over here: How to remove the sidebar from a certain page?

Change the conditional from is_page('forum') to is_home() in the PHP part and the selector from body.slug-forum to .home in the CSS part.
