 * I’m aware that you can include and exclude features by removing or replacing 
   html, the problem is that I can’t find the code described in WordPress For Dummies
   so I can change it.
    What process do I have to follow to specify what page I 
   want as my index. I’m currently viewing my “dashboard” Now what?

 * I did what you said, reloaded my theme and no visible change. Here’s what I did.
   
   1.)Opened wp-content/themes/MYTHEME/ 2.)Copy and pasted the index.php in MYTHEME’s
   directory, the copy’s title read “index_2.php” 3.)I renamed index_2.php to “single.
   php” 4.)Re-applied MYTHEME as my website’s theme and viewed the preview. Nothing
   visible has changed.

 * I’ve copied the index.php in the theme’s directory, renamed it to single.php 
   and nothing visibly changed. Was I supposed to copy and paste the index.php the
   theme’s directory?

 * Thank you for the advice, I’ll give it a shot. I’ll come back to you with the
   result in a while.
