Okay, that did it. Thanks.
So, regarding the index page. I guess I don’t really understand the WP architecture. I’m used to working in HTML, so I’ve always just named my home page “index”.
The page I’m working was titled “Home Default” (from the demo) and I changed it to “Home”. I didn’t do anything with the pages titled “Blog”, other than look at them. I did try to use the 1 and 2 sidebar pages, but that didn’t work.
So, how do I make the Home page the Home page? You mentioned changing the Permalinks. I reviewed the codex about Permalinks and I don’t quite understand how to work with them. Is there a GUI or do I have to change php code somewhere? I looked at the index.php file in my server directory, but I don’t really want to mess with that if I don’t have to.
I also want to insert a sidebar or two under the main slider, but I can’t figure out how to do that either. I sent a post yesterday (I think) asking if there was a way to work with sections – like in html, but you must have missed that.
Anyway, the main issue at this point is the url directory / menu. Thanks.
