Newbie questions

I just installed TextPattern yesterday and I’ve been reading the FAQ’s and trying to figure out things for myself. However, I’ve got two main problems I can’t seem to figure out. 1) My pages have been built with Dreamweaver – for example, on my front page all I want to add is a comments section. I copied it over to TP as an article with auto-insert comments….which leads me to the other problem when I clicked Publish, it didn’t show up on my homepage…I think it was lost in cyberspace somewhere. How can I find out the exact link pages are posted to? Any help would be great! Thanks!

Re: Newbie questions

Can you post the code you used, please? That’ll help pinpoint the problem.

This is going to be my homepage, I would like comments inserted in the “main context” portion – can’t figure out how to just add comments and, as I said before, when I’ve clicked Publish this does not end up on the homepage.
