    how do you get a front page that is not part of a template? ie.. have a splash page (index.php) of some sort, in the root directory, but is not part of the other templates. thanks

    In my case at dakotablogs.com it was easy because I installed WPMU in a directory so I could have other static pages served out of the root. This has caused me some trouble with the invite email as noted in another thread but once I figure out how to fix that I should be relatively good to go.

    If you are running WPMU in the root and your server is set up to serve index.html or home.html before defaulting to index.php then you should be able to upload one of those and be set. If you need it to be a php page you may need to change your server configuration to look for something like home.php first.

    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong since I haven't had to worry about this with my install.
