[geeklog-users] Hello and first question...

If you want apache to look for an index.htm file first, you can add the 
following to your .htaccess file:

DirectoryIndex index.htm index.html index.php

or if you want the file splash.php to come up first:

DirectoryIndex splash.php index.php index.htm index.html
