This one can be frustrating - you're working hard on your Joomla site and suddenly your front page content doesn't show!  First, check and make sure you've got a link to the Frontpage component in the Main Menu - and be certain it is published. 

Now, you may still have issues getting your homepage content to show - check and make sure the 'Home' link is at the top of your list - if another link comes before it, then you won't be able to see your content.  It isn't enough (unfortunately) to just create a link to "/" or 'http://www.mywebsite.com' - you have to create a component link and select the Front Page component.

I know it's confusing, but give it time and you'll start to understand how the menus work.

Yep accidentally deleted the home menu item and went nuts trying to fix it. Just to elaborate on the link Menu Manager > Main Menu > New Menu Item > Componants - Componant then as you've said. There are several ways to add componant links and this one works.
