Page URL vs. WP URL

I still see your original (html) front page, but just doing a rename won’t work unless you are also wanting to move all the files too.
You need to make the changes and move the files.

aaarrrrrgggghhh. I was afraid of that. That would mean that every reference in the plug-ins, hacks, and all templates that point to the present position would have to be edited to point to the new position.
Thanks..

So, I added a timed redirect to the homepage. Check it out and see if it works for you!
