 * Hi,
 * I had my Website set up using a static page as the **front page** (using a rewrite
   script with the below code)…..but when I switched the settings so that my **front
   page** “displays latest posts” the Homapge URL went from [http://www.browzer.net](http://www.browzer.net)
   to [http://www.browzer.net/home](http://www.browzer.net/home). I cant get rid
   of the suffix now.
 * Is there any code I need to add to the script or what should I do?
 * Thanks

   a directory with possibly an index.  don’t rewrite if so look for file at %{SCRATCH:
