   How can I make my default "home" page show the category listings, instead of the actual blog entries? My goal is to have the categories listed on the "home" page, then they can go to each of the blog entries under each of the categories.

   Thanx.

   Check out: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories
   This page may help too with what I'm going to say next: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy

   Your going to want to copy your current theme's index.php file, name it home.php. Then go in and replace the_content(); or the_excerpt(); with wp_list_categories();

   I would also replace the post title line, which has the_title(); in it, to be a non-linking title that says "Categories" or something.

   That's the basic idea... I bet there are going to be some things your going to want to change about it, such as the text size.
