I have installed this theme on our website

http://www.zawt.org

Although appearing to serve correctly the page is returning Http reponse "Server Response Code: 404"

This is obviously very problematic because

1. Search engines will not be crawling it
2. My Adwords are no longer running because the ads are dissaproved due to this

Has anyone else had this problem, or can admin help me out with this problem?

Thanks!

The 404 is being returned because your landing page doesn't have any content.  It appears that you've either deleted all blog posts on your site or you pointed your site home to a page that no longer exists.

Wow. Dumb me! thanks! I wanted to leave the page blank with just the image showing. Makes perfect sense though, i should have figured that out myself! thanks again for the quick response! Top man!

In the theme options there should be an option to hide front page content.  If you enable that, it'll hide the content area without giving that 404.  You can just make an empty page/post to keep it from giving a 404.
