in Site Configuration - Site Information I set Default front page: to http://bartosandrini.com/home

I can edit the page and it shows an address of .../node/33/edit, which is fine. I understand that this is the real URL before resetting the path.

After editing my page, I go further down and set URL path settings as home.

My question is, am I missing another setting somewhere for this page to be my default home page? And since it is physically my home page, why doesn't my highlighted tab coordinate with that. And why doesn't the page reflect that it is the home page (which does not have a search bar in it)?

I don't know Drupal well enough to know if this is a theme issue or primary menu issue or pathauto issue. Any help at all would really be appreciated.

Thanks!

The URL path settings should be front and not home.

I did that but I am still unable to see the Home tab highlighted in the Primary menu. Any ideas?

Check admin/build/path/list that the alias exists, if not create it

in a filtered list nodes, I see node/33 = node/33 and if I try to change that it says that home is already being used.
Without a filter, home = node/33. Is this something I should change in the database so that forward or reverse it says home = node/33 and node/33 = home? Or should I delete the extra node/33 listing?

home is an Alias and node/33 is in System.

delete that and start again, on the site info page make front page: node

Then make you menu path <front> call it anything you want ie Home

That worked. Should I leave everything as is now? And moreover how did I get it so confused? Did I not read correctly somewhere down the line? I reset this (I don't remember how now) a few times and every time I ran a major update it changed itself. Do you think this might happen again?

after watching the results for awhile... here are some issues I have still, even with this workaround:

If I choose to show something on the home page through my TNT theme (such as Mission Statement or Slogan), it only shows on the latest node created or worked on.

The page that loads when typing in the URL, or after selecting a link provided from a search on a search engine, is the latest node created or worked on.
