How do I get rid of the index page that was placed on my blog during instalation?

[TeeJa]

Explain, what index file, html or php?
All directories should have an index file so it will not show all the files.

The index file in the Blog dir.

Well, I am not going to tell you delete the index file, because if your blog program stops working, you didn't get it from me.

But if you need to make corrections to the dir, you can either use Cpanel (FTP Manager), or a FTP program.
Just watch what you delete, make a backup of any file before you delete.

Usually (My experience with WordPress) - you log into the adminsite, then delete the first entry.

Check the documentation or support pages for whatever blog you're using.

Welcome to pMachine!

This is an example weblog entry. We added it as a place-holder, so the page wouldn't be blank. You can delete it from within your control panel. More...

What file do i delete thru cpanel in order to get to the post page?

[quietFinn]

It doesn't mean cPanel, it means the pMachine control panel.

If you installed pMachine to www.yoursite.com/blog/ then you login to the control panel in www.yoursite.com/blog/pm/

Hopefully you remember your admin username & password
