Still can't get the blog as a home page. I set up a redirect at the server and it still goes to the wiki page I sleected in admin/wiki.

Looked at the .htaaccess file (which I know nothing about)and it shows kind of the blog url but it's formatted weird. Instead of
http://pocketprogressive.org/tiki-view_blog.php?blogId=2

it's http\:\/\/pocketprogressive\.org\/tiki\-view_blog\.php\?blogId\=2

I changed it to the first one above but that did nothing so I changed it back to the weird one.

I am at a complete loss as to how to make the blog the home page. Somewhere Tiki knows where to direct users who hit the site url and even with the redirect Tiki will always take users to the wiki page. I just cannot find where it is in the database, hta access file,the Admin General, the admin wiki and the redirect doesn't work.

It's my understanding that a redirect happens when the user hits the URL and the server then takes him to the url I told it to redirect to but do I have this wrong? Does a redirect take time to propagate to DNS servers?

I'm stumped. Somewhere there is a mysterious place where Tiki stores the page it wants to go to -Tiki knows it and I don't.
