 * hi, everyone
 * i want to make a site where the home page has lots of different links, but the
   post must be read on a default page.
 * i changed my index.php on the root and it’s all working, except for the fact 
   that a list of posts is appearing.
 * this is because it’s showin the index.php on the theme folder.
 * how can i make the home page just show what i want and then, when somebody click
   on a link show a post as the theme wants?
