this is my site; http://www.networkersville.com
the main page has the blog entries. I want to get rid of that and just keep those entries on my blog section. How do I do this and just have traditional content on the homepage instead of the blog entries?
thanks a million- dean
You can make an index.html that will take precedence over the WP's index.php - an .html index always shows up before the index.php.
Or, you can move your WP install in a subfolder and have an index at the root that shows whatever you want...

Moshu: is there somewhere in the codex or somewhere in cyberspace that will teach me how to do this?

Another way to do this is make a template file named home.php and stick it in the directory with your other template files.
Also, there are a number of plugins, including one I wrote, that allow you to make one of your pages the static home page.
Probably there is. Which solution?
Moving WP: http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
To make a .html index: I assume you have some basic skills, just make a webpage with the content you want and upload it.
You can also try to use one of the many "creating a static front page" plugins:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page
and http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Admin_Tools

and another "home made" solution here:

Moshu,
Whichever process is easier for me :)
Filosofu,
I will look into your plugin as well. Thanks!

Filo,
Is there something else that I should be doing for WP2.0?
Because I uploaded the plugin and activated it.
I prepend the custom permalink with "/blog".
I then proceeded to the homepage control panel and set my home-page and blog directory accordingly.
I hit "save" and I get the following message;
>>>Cannot load filosofo-home-page-control.php.

lone007, sounds like there could be a problem with the file permissions for the plugin file.
Looking at your site, I noticed that you seem to have added "blog" to the "Blog Address (URI)" as well as prepending it to your permalinks' "custom structure"; you don't need to do both, as you'll end up with "blog/blog".
If you continue to have problems with the plugin, would you email me at if.website at gmail.com or leave a comment at the plugin's page?
