How can I add or delete the front page's blocks?

Answer 1

1)First of all create a tpl file "page--front.tpl.php".

2)Suppose you want to place block in sidebar second region use devel module to see the content of your page.

<?php dpm($page);
dpm($page['sidebar_second']);?>

3) Write following code after executing above code:

<?php print render($page['sidebar_second']['id_of_your_block']) ?>

for deleting/hide the front page block

1)Go to edit page at block/region setting/none

Answer 2

You can assign condition <front> on each block which you want to display in home page.
