Splash Page without Index.html?

[abacquer]

Hey there!

My new blog is online, but unlike my old one, only part of it is in article format. Much of it is webpages. I have one webpage that I would like to display automatically when someone visits the blog. But I can't convert it to an html file and save it as index.html in my root directory, because I still want the blog sidebar to appear on the page and stay current.

Is there anything I can do to accomplish this effect?

The blog is: http://stonerainproject.blogharbor.com/
And the page I'd like to come up first is: http://stonerainproject.blogharbor.com/blog/_WebPages/Introduction.html

If there's no way to do it, consider that as a feature request. A checkbox somewhere that says "Use as splash page" for webpages.

Unfortunately it is not possible to set a Web Page item as the home page of your blog, though it is something we can see the utility of and it is already on the wish list.

As a workaround, you could post an index.html file to your blog which contains a redirect to one of your pages. An index.html file containing this code:

Hmmm. That's an idea that had occurred to me. I guess I'll try experimenting with that. Thanks John!
