Adding a post did it! So simple, thanks for your help.

This is the root index.php file’s contents:
<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
?>

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the sidebar content on the blog home page. It’s as I would have expected from what I’ve done.

I have not added any posts to the home page. The only post that used to be there was the …well, I’ve forgotten exactly what it said but it was something like, “Hello, this is your first post.” The Sociable thing used to be above it, as well as an edit link and whatever I’ve forgotten. All that’s gone now.

I would appreciate your patience with me, whooami. This is only my second day of working on my new WordPress installation. I have twelve years experience in Web site design, but am new to both WordPress and php. So if I sound like I don’t know what I’m doing, it’s because I don’t know what I’m doing.

OK, I’m pretty sure this is what happened: I was trying to install a contact form plugin on my “contact’ page. On my first attempt, I somehow managed to paste the code for it in the post area of my home page. I tried to delete it using Safari and everytime I deleted it, it reappeared. (I learned awhile later that Safari doesn’t work sometimes). So I think that while I was in the window trying to delete the tag, I accidently deleted something more.

When I go to my blog homepage, instead of post-related stuff in the middle panel, I see “Not Found…Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.” My Social plug in and edit links are gone.

I uploaded replacement copies of the index.php files to my server, in both the main WordPress folder and in my theme folder.
