I want to remove the welcoming text in the home page of my Drupal site!

I mean this message:

Welcome to your new Drupal website!

Please follow these steps to set up and start using your website:

1. Configure your website Once logged in, visit the administration section, where you can
customize and configure all aspects of your website.
2. Enable additional functionality Next, visit the module list and enable features which suit
your specific needs. You can find additional modules in the Drupal modules download
section.
3. Customize your website design To change the "look and feel" of your website, visit the

That message would disappear as soon as you published some stories, and it would be replaced by a list of your stories.

Anyway, to use your own front page go to the admin/settings/site-information page, scroll down to "Default front page:" and change node to your own page's path.

You have to specifically set a node to view on the front page :)
It's on a checkbox below your body text field when you are editing the node

Thanks a lot Alexa!

But, please someone can tell me where can i find the code source (page source) of that node so that i can clean it directly there? I mean in the template.tpl.php, or in what folder and file?

I think that is better for me if you know where can i find that!

Thanks alot in advance!

The welcome text is in the /modules/node/node.module file (it is not a content node, it is instructions from the program). You can edit it with a text editor.

Of course your text will disappear and nobody will see it again as soon as you publish a story, because that was what it was intended to do, but you can do it anyway.
