Sorry I should have added more details. I'm using a views Module to set up my stories on the front page ...but I do not want to post anything else but that views to the front page so that I can archive the rest of my stories on a different page.

If I post anything on the front page it will just post stories like normal. I want them to post so they have the read more link to the archive...witch is working...I just need to remove the default text from the front page.

Thanks, for your reply though.

1) set up a default front page in administer -> site information (you can even add your view as the default front page)
2) investigate the front page.module
3) create a custom front-page.tpl.php and drop the content region from it if necessary (documentation in handbooks)

these are three options, I'm sure there are more.

Glad you figured it out. And thanks for not taking my smart ass comment too personally. For some reason, I was in a foul mood.

I have created some content - quite a bit - and the friggin drupal default page did not go away as promised.

Other directives to "goto administer -> site information" do not apply in my drupal 4.7.7 - in the admin menu I have there is no "site information" choice. It seems like they totally changed their menus for 5.x.

Also, the Help pages and the Handbook have an annoying habit of pointing to each other for more information, but each offers essentially the same information.

So - how do I make this thing go away using a drupal 4.7.7 that isn't behaving as advertised?

Thanks!

oh, and now i am getting validation errors trying to post this with my new user account. don't you just love ramping up?

sorry, not a code guy; i kick it until it works or falls apart.

http://drupal.org/node/61233 has some clues for 4.7.x. if it is not already there, trying explicitly setting "node" as the default front page? or make another page a default, and if that works, reset to "node" again. it could be that something is wrong with the "node" path (can't help you there).

you may have to go into an existing "promoted" node, edit it (add a space, etc.), submit it, and see what happens. if that works, you will have to "touch" the other nodes, too.

good luck!

http://drupal.org/node/61233 was totally the place for all the info anyone would need to address what must be a very common issue. Don't know why that isn't pointed out more clearly in the manual. Or maybe I'm just being a dork.

Thanks TM!
