 * Hi Zoonini,
 * I have found answers to all of these questions (and some others). I am still 
   struggling with a couple of things, but I am getting much more comfortable with
   WordPress. Thanks for your support!

 * Hi Zoonini,
 * Thank you for your feedback! Yes I do have some questions – some specific and
   some more general. I have only spent about 4 or 5 hours trying to get my arms
   around WordPress. But what I had read about it being easy left me frustrated 
   that after that amount of time my understanding was still pretty limited.
 * Yesterday I felt mostly frustrated, but today I feel like I am making some progress.
   I have three particular questions this morning.
 * 1. I figured out how to turn off the comments and blogs for the home page, but
   how do I turn them off only for the home page? When I turn them off it applies
   that setting to all of the pages.
 * 2. How do I control link order? For that matter, how do I make sure that when
   I create a page (or blog) that a link is created for it? Yesterday I created 
   a page under one theme, and it created a page link. Later I changed themes, and
   after that created two new pages, and there were not page links created for them.
   But it occurs to me that I did not look to see if there was a blog link created.
   So maybe that was what I was missing. Being from the web design world I tend 
   to think of everything as a page, and that a blog would be something on a page.
   But I have noticed that WordPress thinks that a page and a blog are two separate
   things.
 * 3. I deleted that sample page, having forgotten it was the home page. Now when
   I go to my website, it says “The page cannot be found”. How do I make a page 
   into my home page? I tried renaming a page to “sample”, and then to “index” but
   that didn’t work.
 * Thanks much for your help! If you want to email me offline, my email is _[email
   redacted per forum policy]_
