Front Page Options
The Front Page configuration pane contains the options for the
front page of the weblog, and the front page’s RSS feed.
The "Front Page" is the main page of the entire web site and is
typically where the current entries reside. The RSS feed (or Atom feed)
is a syndication feed for news readers and various other news
aggregation applications. For more information on RSS see

Front Page settings
-
Generate oldest entries first by default – The default setting
for the order of entries on the front page. If this option is
selected, entries are generated in reverse chronological order. This
option can be overridden in the templates.
-
Limit front page entries – The number of entries the front page
should display. If this option is unselected, the front page will
display every entry in the weblog. This option can be overridden in
the templates.
-
File Name – the file name of the front page. This should be
"index.html" if you want the front page to display for the main URL of
the site.
RSS Feed settings
-
Generate RSS file – If selected an RSS feed is generated which
contains the entries appearing on the front page.
-
Write Full RSS Entries – If unselected, the RSS entries are
abbreviated. This option can be overridden in the Feed template.
-
File Name – The file name of the feed. This should typically
have the extension ".xml"
