Create a Static Front Page

By default, the index page of your site is a ‘posts page,” a landing spot for any posts you create. It will display site posts beginning with your most recent one. Create Your Own Site (this site)contains just such a page:

If you prefer a front page that is “static,” – ie has fixed, manually entered content – please request a static front page. Your existing posts page will be converted to a news page, and that news page will be added to your site menu. The screenshot below is an example of a static front page.
