 * hi
 * heh, need a hand. i can’t figure out how to configure wordpress so that when 
   it loads my site it goes to an inner page AND retains that page’s link url (so
   that it gets better seo marks)..
 * ….i have all in one seo installed
    … the permalinks are set to %postename% in
   the permalinks section ….the reading settings are set to redirect my front page
   to the inner page that i’m referring to
 * what’s happening at the moment is that it’s loading my website domain, re-directing
   it to the inner page; BUT the inner page’s postname (SEO) vanishes..leaving just
   the domain name showing in the url bar
 * how to fix anyone?
 * thanks
 * David

 * You cannot use a static page as your site’s home page **and** retain that page’s
   url. You’d need to look at creating an .htaccess redirect.
