django template inheritance: how to NOT display block from parent?

Working on my first Django project. New to templates and inheritance. I'm using Bootstrap and want a splashy homepage. So I don't want sidebars, just Jumbotron. But, my index.html inherits from base.html and displays my sidebars which I do want in every other page but my home page. I want everything else, nav, footer, etc. to inherit. My base.html: ``` {% block right_panel %} blah blah blah {% endblock %} ``` Is there a way to not inherit this block in my index.html? Or do I make a standalone index.html template with all of the block from base.html minus those I don't want to display? What's best practice? EDIT Here's the offending piece in base.html: ``` <div class="col-md-3 right"> {% nevercache %} {% include "includes/user_panel.html" %} {% endnevercache %} <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-body"> {% block right_panel %} {% ifinstalled mezzanine.twitter %} {% include "twitter/tweets.html" %} {% endifinstalled %} {% endblock %} </div> </div> </div> ``` The CSS is rendering: `<div class="panel-body">` My page.html: ``` {% extends "base.html" %} <!-- no right-panel content--> {% block right_panel %}{% endblock %} {% load mezzanine_tags keyword_tags %} {% block meta_title %}{{ page.meta_title }}{% endblock %} {% block meta_keywords %}{% metablock %} {% keywords_for page as keywords %} {% for keyword in keywords %} {% if not forloop.first %}, {% endif %} {{ keyword }} {% endfor %} {% endmetablock %}{% endblock %} {% block meta_description %}{% metablock %} {{ page.description }} {% endmetablock %}{% endblock %} {% block title %} {% editable page.title %}{{ page.title }}{% endeditable %} {% endblock %} {% block main %} {% endblock %} ``` When I add: ``` `{% block right_panel %}{% endblock %} ``` to the top of page.html, the content doesn't render. What's the best approach? Should I make a new block and wrap it around the that is being styled and then leave it empty in other templates? Or should I move the offending chunk from base.html to another template file and include it on pages where I want it rendered. Also, another thing. If I remove `{% block right_panel %}{% endblock %}` from page.html and put it in gallery.html which inherits from page.html, the content still renders.
