Resolves to wrong page & archive troubles

I’m running Beta 2 (Jan 13 build) of K2 with WP 2.1 beta. For the most part, the upgrade was smooth, but I’ve encountered a couple of bumps along the road, and I’m hoping someone in the WP community could help enlighten me. I’ve enabled the new static page feature in WP 2.1, but I can’t seem to get my site to resolve to that particular page from the root domain. Instead, it resolves to the blog section.

To illustrate:

When I enter this:

http://thinkitcreative.com …I get this page (http://thinkitcreative.com/blog/) instead of this page (http://thinkitcreative.com/home/).

I also can’t seem to get my archive to show up in the header list anymore. As a stop-gap, I’ve added it to my sidebar, but I’m really puzzled as to why this is happening. I’ve tried enabling both/either the UTW archive and Extended Live Archive plugins, but nothing seems to help.
