you need to edit the index.php file in your default template

The html file is there so to prevent directory listings on some servers.

 

Some servers look for default files, like index.html If that file is not present, it will just show the entire directory. Which you normally do not want.

 

So, putting a basically empty .html file in there is simply a security measure.

 

Sjackson is correct, you'll need to edit the index.php file for the template you have active. There may be more than one template in the "templates" folder, so make sure you edit the correct one.

And you could have multiple .php and multiple css files to work on besides a control file.
