This might be another simple question back, but why do you want people to see your admin screen when they visit your site? Or are you talking about people (family) who will be adding content to your site?
The link to your site is the …/blog or actual site address. The link to your admin is the admin login. If you don’t want them to see it, don’t give it to them.
If they will be contributing to the site, adding content, they they have to in order to “see” how to contribute. You can control what they see and how much they can change through the user levels.
Try this thread:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/31664
and/or a search for login redirect
OK this is the source of my confusion…. I *don’t* want them to see the wp-admin page. I want them to see the blog. But when they log in, they are autmagically taken to the wp-admin page…. I don’t want this to happen, but I can’t find the setting that sets that anywhere….
I want a user, on logging in, to end up at the …/blog, *not* at the /blog/wp-admin, as is happening right now….
How do I change this?
Thanks,

Could you provide a link to your site? It is VERY odd for you to hand out your site address as example.com/blog/index.php and have it immediately redirect to the login screen.
Also, are you using permalinks or any other htaccess redirects? In your Admin Options do you have the right URL (address) to the blog?
Lorelle, you type faster than you read… (or you don’t read carefully!)
After login WP automatically redirects the logged-in persdon to the admin panel.
OP wants this redirect to go the the index.php.
The thread I linked above might give him the solution.
The rest is just misleading.
Edit. I admit it’s a weird request since if the redirect is applied he will never be able to post, LOL
Not true, Moshu – you can always just have a POST link direct to the post.php page like I do from my sidebars….
Sorry, I meant in the “traditional” way, clicking the login 🙂
