 * I have created my own custom spalsh page I wish to load upon typing in my URL.
   It is not wordpress releated and I created it myself in HTML.
 * However, my wordpress is installed in the main directory.
 * How can I change the index to my own custom html home page and then put a link
   on that page to the wordpress site?

 * How do I fix this and update my links in the nav bar so that they are displayed?
   If I change the settings to anything else, it says I have to update my .htaccess
   file, but I dont have one.
