    Namaste Jose,

    There is no need to turn front page off just
    Paste this code in Custom CSS
    Appearance > Theme Option > Styling Option > Custom CSS
    To remove area you have shown in the image.

    Code:
    .content-wrapper .content-info {
    display:none;
    }
    #content, blockquote {
    display:none;
    }

    To show blog news you can add recent post widget in the footer widget area.

    Thx Nitesh, the code worked just perfect, sadly, I don't quite understand your tip about bringing out the blog/news in the front page by "adding recent post widget in the footer widget area????" As far as I can see there footer area only has 4 sections and I already use them, what other footer do you mean??

    If I turn the front page off it looks like this (no slider): http://awesomescreenshot.com/06a17xdhc9 ...is t it possible to have the slider some-how with the blog/news presented this way?? maybe by adding some "display:yes...." in the css?¿?

    Thx again for your time and help !!
    Jose

    Ok got your point.

    You want to set your front page off and want to show blog page as a front page with slider.
    Follow process given below.
    1) Set front page off.
    2) Download "Wp slider plugin" (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-slider-ssp/) and activate it. Generate slider shortcode after uploading images for slider.
    3) Copy that shortcode and add it with the code given below. Then paste complete code in the blog.php file as shown in image.

    Code:
    <?php echo do_shortcode("YOUR SHORTCODE"); ?>
    [​IMG]

    It will work for you :).
