I took a very quick look at Mohammed's site. He seems to want a custom front page and this is why I suggested he try the "Front Page" module.

Please do so, for I am nearly 100% sure you are wrong.
As I thought it does work.
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.
