The default home page for every Drupal site is the location where Stories appear when posted. However, a site administrator can choose to make any other section or page on the site the default home page.

To change the default, go to the general configuration page. In the Default front page text field, change "node" to "blog"--for the Blogs page--or to "forum"--for the Forums. In fact, any page on the site, even a static page, can be made the home page by changing the default in this field.
