 * I am absolutely new at WP, and hardly know what I’m doing. I used to be pretty
   savvy and know HTML and light Javascript, etc.
 * I have a theme from an outside company, and it gave me 5 pages – I really only
   want one. When I type in my url it directs me to the “Home” page. I wanted my
   url to go directly to the “Blog” page.
 * So, I deleted the “home” page and now I get a 404 error when I go my url. I imagine
   this has to do with permalinks from what I could read about them. How can I delete
   several pages and setup my WP so it automatically opens my “Blog” page when my
   url is typed in?
 * Thanks,
 * David

 * It’s looking for an index page.
 * I imagine you can rename your blog page whatever it is to index and it will load.
