hi everyone

brand new to wordpress, and to the forums.

i’m using ipage to host my site, and using wordpress ofcourse to create it

my domain is http://www.kelownahousesitter.com
i have installed wordpress to the domain, but when i am adding pages, the pages work great, but when i click HOME to bring me back to http://www.kelownahousesitter.com, it is obviously not hooked up to the wordpress site.

any suggestions i appreciate your help

you will see that http://www.kelownahousesitter.com/main/ works but not without it

FTP into your site (or use whatever file management application your host provides) & delete the index.html file in your domain’s root folder.

so I have now got the domain being directed to wordpress, but last stupid question of the day from me, i promise.

how do I edit what is shown on the default page

for instance, if you go to http://www.kelownahousesitter.com you will see my menus are there, but on the “HOME” page there is nothing but an error message. In essence all I am wondering if where I put the information I’d like to see on the main page.

First – a question in return…

Do you intend to publish any Posts? If “yes” will you want those Posts shown on the home page of your site?

I suggest making a Home static page. If it does not show up in your navigation, make a custom menu.
