Dual Boot Index Loads HTML and PHP

   Hi.

   I'm goofing with the code and wonder, just wonder, if this is possible. I know that wordpress uses the index.php to load the theme. And I've changed that to a .htm file and loaded a html page instead.

   Here's the question: Is there a way to have a html? page that loads when you first go to the site (mysite.com loads index.htm) and then a second (index.php) that loads the wordpress site when the call comes from inside wordpress?

   So, people that go to mysite.com will get the html page. But if people click around wordpress inside mysite.com then it will work properly (like having a different .htm and .php)? Any chance?

   Thanks,
   Jeremy

   I`m having problems understanding if you want static splash page, cached static html as homepage or if you want to mix a static page(s) with wordpress.

   May you please rephrase and elaborate on what you want to accomplish ?

   Hi.

   I was trying to get a splash page with links as an introduction to a wordpress site without using a sub domain.

   Thanks,
   Jeremy

   Yes. Something like that. Thank you, John.

   Now I need to figure out how to make it into a normal html page. :)

   I'll check back later.

   Up and running on the test site. I'll post a link when the web site is complete in a few weeks.

   Thanks again for your help on this.
