I am using version 3.2.1 of WordPress and my URL is http://www.like-media.com. I am trying to start over with the website and so I have permanently deleted all of the media/image files and all of the pages and posts as well as disabled all of the plugins to where everything is default. However, every time I create a new page and then try to view it, it continues to revert back to a home page (a splash page) that I cannot find and does not exist (view it here: http://www.like-media.com). Basically every page I create shows me what is on the home page (www.like-media.com) when I click "view". My theme is not even showing up with the current home page. I went into the FTP files and got rid of the image that the home page was pulling up, but that is all I achieved and now I'm left with a blank home page. I read some forums that told me to delete part of the header.php code, however, the part they told me to delete (<li class="page_item ">">Home) was not even included in my header.php code:
<?php
/**
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Theme_Compat
* @deprecated 3.0
*
* This file is here for Backwards compatibility with old themes and will be removed in a future version
*
*/
_deprecated_file( sprintf( __( 'Theme without %1$s' ), basename(__FILE__) ), '3.0', null, sprintf( __('Please include a %1$s template in your theme.'), basename(__FILE__) ) );
?>

I have also set up the "Reading Settings" "Front Page Displays" to be "A Static Page" to the "Welcome" page I created, but it is not showing up. I believe once I get rid of this mysterious home page, I will be able to create new pages and they will actually show up when I hit the "view" button and I can arrange one of them to show up as the home page. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
