# Unwanted index.php changes

 * I have my “blog” page set up for my posts, and my “home” set as my main page.
   I have 2 separate templates with each page set to the proper template. However,
   when I edit my home page, the changes effect the blog page as well, like they’re
   linked or something. I want my home page to be different than my blog page, and
   I know that this isn’t supposed to happen, so I don’t understand what’s going
   on. Has anyone experienced this before or know what’s going on?
    Here’s my page:
   [http://thecrisisfilm.com/wordpress/](http://thecrisisfilm.com/wordpress/) If
   you click on the home page and the blog page, you can see that the same text “
   Welcome to TheCrisisFilm.com” appears on both pages. However, I only entered 
   the text into the home.php NOT my index.php (which the blog is set to). HELP!

 * Make a copy of index.php and name it something like blog.php, give it a template
   header, and assign that to the blog page?
 * I’ve seen quite a few people run into problems with the home.php being picked
   up by the front page, as well as the blog page. I don’t think it’s supposed to
   work that way…but I could be wrong

 * Assigning the “blog” page to something else didn’t work, but assigning the “home”
   page to something other than home.php did. Thanks for the help, it must recognize
   home.php and index.php as the same?

 * It seems to, at least sometimes. I don’t think that is supposed to be the behaviour
