After two months I'm about ready to wrap this site up, and this happened, and I cannot figure out what's causing it. Over the course of the last four hours I made numerous fixes to the site and added a few new modules. When I realized I had a problem, I tried to backtrack and undo each of those things one at a time, clear the cache, and try and log into the front page. Nothing I've tried has worked so far.
I've looked through past issues for thee last couple hours and found no answers there. Anything remotely close was due to the front page module which I don't use and people just getting started.
It's baffling that I can still log-in on every other page in the site, except for the index/front page. Has anyone had a similar issue?
Here's the site link in case anyone wants to take a peak at the source code http://eatmelures.com/. I went over the source and I can't see what the problem could be, but then I again, I built this site in Drupal and I couldn't write a line of php if my life depended on it. It's probably something so simple, but I just can't see it.

Re on front page
I suspect that the problem is a very easy fix...
Go to admin>>site configuration>>site information and scroll to the bottom of that page. You should see "Default Front Page" with your url and then an empty box. Put in the word node for the normal front page. If you have a different page you want as front, just put that node address in.
Click submit and then see if your front page appears...

Thanks for your help and
Thanks for your help and quick response. It wasn't exactly the issue you stated above, but following your lead, I ended up running into my mistake. My default front page is set at node/1, so once I changed that to just node as you suggested, I could then go ahead and log in, but at the same time I lost my front page content. It was then automatically replaced with just "node".
Anyway, my mistake earlier was setting up a bunch of of 301's to appease Google and in that process I did a 301 for node/1 and redirected it to eatmelures.com/. I guess Drupal didn't like that very much. I removed the 301 and everything is back to normal.
Thanks again.
Perhaps try deleting all
Perhaps try deleting all your browser cookies, and clearing the browser cache too.
good point. What that does,
good point.
What that does, of course, is ensure that what is appearing on your screen isn't your "cached" page versus calling for the new, edited version of the page.
