 * I have just updated form 2.3 to 2.5 and everything works fine except for one 
   thing..
 * When I had my 2.3 version installed my blogs homepage was named `blog.php` and
   was placed in the root directory with all other files in a directory named `blog`.
   It seems that the new version of 2.5 really needs to have the homepage named `
   index.php`. All I get now is this message, “_**Not Found** Sorry, but you are
   looking for something that isn’t here_“. This creates problems for the structure
   of my site.. If I have the blog homepage named `index.php` I will lose my original
   homepage, and I don’t want the blog to be the homepage.. Another thing is that
   I **MUST** keep the blog address pointed to the root directory..
 * Is there any ways around this, or am I just out of luck?
