Okay. I found it. Basically, I was expecting to see a news box that just didn't have any news in it, since I hadn't entered any news yet (because I had spent all that time looking for a toggle for the news box for the main page).
So, DUH! Of course, When I finally went ahead and entered a test news article, it showed up in the center box of the main page, as it should.
Thanks for your reply.
