You shoudn't override pagelayout.tpl directly. Instead create a new page in /design/yourdesign/override/templates/mywelcompage.tpl. You can accomplish this in different ways. The easiest is to create the directory and chmod 'override' 777. Then login to your admininterface and go to Setup, Templates. Click on /node/view/full. Select your design and press Set if neccesary. Now you have to select when the override template must be used. Your rootnode (or topnode or frontpage) probably has node-id 2. Enter 2 in field 'node id' and type the desired name for your template (in my example 'mywelcomepage'). Correct pagelayout.tpl, clear your cache, reload your frontpage and enjoy your new frontpage!
