http://nabslink.org/wp-app.php doesn't seem a likely root URL for a blog.

Indeed, wp-app.php appears to be a not-so-nice URL for an Atom feed for 
the blog:

http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/trunk/wp-app.php

This depends on how you configured WordPress when you installed it:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress

My guess about what happened is that Wordpress has been installed in the 
root directory and that the root file for the blog is therefore index.php:

http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/trunk/index.php

index.php is redirecting to the root URL of the blog 
(http://nabslink.org/), so you don't want search engines indexing absurd 
URLs like index.php. But there's already a homepage there, probably in 
index.html and the server is inferring that it should display that.

I think your problem is you installed WordPress in the root directory 
rather than a subdirectory like blog.

I'd aim for reinstalling it at:

http://nabslink.org/blog/
