As I read through the posts in this thread, I couldn't help but laugh
at how obviously (in retrospect) you two (Ber and Gordon) were
misunderstanding each other. Of course you both thought the other was
wrong - the problem was not the correctness of your arguments, it was
a communication problem!

The question from Mohammed was not "stories don't show when I go to
/node", it was "stories don't show when I go to the front page (which
is not /node)". Ber, you interpreted this as I did (the former
option). Gordon, you seemed to interpret it the other way (the
latter).

There are a few ways to get the nodes showing on the front page. You
could change your theme, as Gordon suggested. Another option (easier,
but perhaps not as good a solution) would be to set your front page
back to the default '/node', and to make your 'front page story'
promoted to the front page, as well as 'sticky'. This way, it will
appear at the top, before any other nodes. Alternatively, you could
put the text in the site's mission, and display that on the front page
'/node' using the built-in theme settings.
