    ok, I have a site and I placed my blog on a page named blog. I do not want to put blog on main page as I may want to change things in the future. how do I get the main page to point to the blog page. In other words, how do I get it so that when someone types in https://www.mysite.com they get mysite.com/blog where my blog is? Thanks

    Im not sure I fully understand what you are trying to do but you could do a redirect on the index of https://www.mysite.com to go to https://www.mysite.com/blog
    Put something like this in the <head></head> tags of your home page..
    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;URL=www.mysite.com/blog" />

    this is not a very Search Engine Friendly method. If you are more adventurous you could try a 301 redirect. You will find various ways of doing this if you google it.

    A 301 (permanent) redirect would be better from an SEO standpoint, but if you’re just looking for a temporary fix, then Shredman’s suggestion will work.

    I dabbled briefly with what you’re contemplating via a different means. IIRC – and I suggest you back up everything before you even try – my IT guru moved all the contents of the /blog/ subdir into the root directory, then changed the blog address(es) under Setting | General. At least I think that’s all that he did. ;}
