   I want to make an intro page for my site (like index.php) (site powered powered by WordPress). How do I get the WordPress front page to come second (like index2.php)?

   Use home.php. There's a tutorial here.

   I just named index.php to index2.php (wordpress main page) and did the intro page..everything works.

   I don't understand the tutorial at http://www.chrisjdavis.org/2005/06/13/secrets-pt-3/. I just simply want to make an intro page for my website (powered by WordPress).

   If you just want a different home page on your blog than what's presented in the rest of it, you can follow skippy's suggestion and set up a home.php template in your theme. Simplest method for this is to make a copy of the theme's index.php and edit as desired. More info on theme templates and template hierarchy can be found here:

   Beyond that it would help to know exactly what you expect from an "intro page".
