   Can I have a page I create as the homepage, and then have the blog be on /blog or something? How do I go about doing this?

   You create a directory inside your web root named "blog" and install wordpress there.

   Where is your blog installed? In the root or in a directory - like yoursite.com/blog ?

   It's just on http://amandamarie.info .

   I want to use wordpress to keep up the site, but I don't want the blog posts to be on the first page.

   You can move it into a folder called "blog"

   If it's just that you don't want blog entries on the front page you can use one of the static front page plugins and use a WordPress "page" for your front page, as I do on http://jaredquinn.info.

   Got everything working pretty well, but one thing...

   How do I implement the is_home() function to not even display (or at least not display anything in) the sidebar when the home page is loaded?

   Can I change the stylesheet so that the background color for the sidebar changes to the background color of the main area when it's at the home page?

   I use this one:

   if($post->post_name == 'home') { ... }
