Site not opening on Home Page:
Feb 9 2011, 8:32 AM EST | Post edited: Feb 9 2011, 8:32 AM EST
I would like to know how i can change the home when the site is opened, at the moment my site opens on the Discussion page, which i do not want, so how can i fix it that whenever i or members of my site log on, to the site, are presented with the home page itself, i have had this before, but for the life of me cannot remember how i corrected it, looked all over wetpaint central but can't find an answer. Do you find this valuable?

Make sure that the URL address that you are using to get to your home page does not have anything after the .com portion.
The home page URL should look like this with your site name substituted for yoursitename.
e.g.

http://yoursitename.wetpaint.com

My site name is Splats2, so my home page URL address is http://spats2.wetpaint.com

Although it is not your home page, every page on your site can be accessed from its own site address.

For example, if you have a page on your site called 'super', every time you visit the 'super' page, your web address would change to;
http://yoursitename.wetpaint.com/page/super
