Changing the homepage

Is it possible to change the Home page so it’s not a blog, but a page? And also is it possible to change the name of the homepage?

If yes, how is this done?

Thanks, Richard

To change the site Front Page to be a static Page:

• Go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Reading
• Change Front page displays from Your latest posts to A static page
• In the dropdown beneath this option, select the static Page to use as your Front Page.
• If you want to display your blog Posts somewhere, select a static Page to use to display them.

To change the title of your Front Page:

• The Front Page will assume the Page Title of whatever static Page you selected above.
