When you go to a post page - such as: http://www.faithsheridan.com/mydesignblog/ideas-and-inspirations/dreaming-of-color-and-updates-on-my-patio/
What you see is the same as the main blog homepage: http://www.faithsheridan.com/mydesignblog/.
What's going on?
Make sure you have a single.php in your theme, and you've setup your permalinks in the backend properly (Settings -> Permalinks).

How can i go from a worpress blog initializing to a wordpress website ?
They are one and the same, the only difference is setting a static home page.
After creating your home page you go to "Setting > Reading" and change the option "Your homepage displays" to static, in the dropdown under "Homepage" select the page you want to use.
I would like to redirect my WordPress website to the homepage
For example, when the user goes to the following address
mywebsite.com
It will redirect to
mywebsite.com/homepage
What is the best way to do it?
Thanks
Go to Administration > Settings > Reading panel.
Set Front page displays to a static page
In the drop down menu for Front Page select "Home."
In the drop down menu for Posts page select "Blog" or the name you
created, or leave it blank if you will not feature posts on the
site.
Save changes.
Using .htaccess :
RewriteRule mywebsite.com$ mywebsite.com/homepage [R=301,L]
Usage of Redirection plugin will do the trick for you. and It is one of the very Easiest method.
Plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/
Install this plugin and you will find the settings page and you can provide the URL over to there.
After Installation of the Plugin it will appear on Tools Menu under the Admin Dashboard.
I recently installed Buddypress on a new Wordpress site. I'm having a problem getting Buddypress links to work. My site's permalinks are set to 'post-name' (http://mysite.com/index.php/sample-post/) but when I click 'Register' for example (a Buddypress link) it goes to http://mysite.com/register.
Anyone know how I can change Buddypress link structure?
There should NOT be index.php/ in your permalinks.
Go to Permalinks admin page and remove it using input. And check that you have .htaccess file in the root of your WP install.
This codex article will be useful for you as well.
I've just changed my permalinks from /%postname%/ to /%postname%.html
So, links which are in /%postname%/ are showing 404 error.
I want to redirect those links to /%postname%.html in order to avoid 404 error page.
Changing the permalink settings with extension will effect only in posts, not in pages. In many instances like this I always use this plugin http://www.introsites.co.uk/wordpress/html-on-pages-plugin.html, it is a short plugin and editable, you can change the extension (.html) to many other like: .asp, .shtml, etc.
But please note: if you do an edit to your permalink setting please deactivate the plugin and activated it again when your done. Because if you change the permalink setting and didn't deactivate and activate this plugin all the page will appear as not found.
You can see the plugin stats http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/html-on-pages/stats/ to see how many people used the plugin.
If I have a wordpress blog, is it possible to have the main url to redirect to a basic HTML page, while keeping the permalinks still displaying the blog posts within a wordpress theme?
Set your front-page to a custom (static) page (Settings -> Reading in WP 2.8)
