I’ve tried adding the home.php but it doesn’t seem to do anything.

The index.php of my theme is as follows:

<?php
/**
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Emotion Studios
 */

get_header(); ?>

<div id="page-wrapper">

    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

            <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

            <?php if ( is_front_page() ) { ?>

            <!-- homepage layout code goes here -->

            <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>

            <div id="main">

            <?php } else { ?>

            <!-- default page layout code goes here -->

            <!-- this is secondary navigation code for sub-pages within a section -->

            <?php
            if($post->post_parent)
            $children = wp_list_pages("exclude=100,101,102,311,318,315&title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");
            else
            $children = wp_list_pages("exclude=100,101,102,311,318,315&title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
            if ($children) { ?>

            <div id="main">

            <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>

            <div id="column2">
            	<h2>Buy an Emotion Studios Shoot</h2>

					<?php get_sidebar( 'content' ); ?>

            </div>

            <?php } else { ?>

            <div class="main">

            <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>

    <?php endif; ?>

    	</div><!-- close page wrapper -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

and the home.php is as follows:

<?php

get_header(); ?>

<div id="page-wrapper">

<?php
	if ( is_front_page() && twentyfourteen_has_featured_posts() ) {
		// Include the featured content template.
		get_template_part( 'featured-content' );
	}
?>

	 <div id="main">

		<?php
			if ( have_posts() ) :
				// Start the Loop.
				while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

					/*
					 * Include the post format-specific template for the content. If you want to
					 * use this in a child theme, then include a file called called content-___.php
					 * (where ___ is the post format) and that will be used instead.
					 */
					get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );

				endwhile;
				// Previous/next post navigation.
				twentyfourteen_paging_nav();

			else :
				// If no content, include the "No posts found" template.
				get_template_part( 'content', 'none' );

			endif;
		?>

		</div><!-- #main -->
	<?php get_sidebar( 'content' ); ?>
	</div><!-- #page wrapper -->

<?php
get_footer();?>

I have a static page ‘Blog’ assigned as the blog page, but it is just using the default template at the moment.

Is there anything glaringly wrong with the code?
