WordPress Tutorial – Make a Static Page Your Home/Front Page
NOTE: Updated tutorial at bit.ly for WordPress version 2.7. This Beginner-level WordPress Tutorial by Mark McLaren of McBuzz Communications shows you how to make a static WordPress Page your home page (also called “front” page). The default WordPress home page in most themes shows the chronological blog post entries with the most recent post at the top. You can create a static page using the Dashboard – Write – Page, and then tell WordPress to use that page as your home page (using Options – Reading – Front Page). This WordPress tutorial also shows you how to change the order of page navigation tabs or links.
Great tutorial, Mark!
It answered a couple key questions I had about static pages with WP. Thanks! 5/5 from me.
Excellent. Thanks, hodog87. Let me know if there are other topics you would like to see covered.

Do you know how to have people leave anonymous comments? Thanks
Meredith
Thanks, Meredith. I don’t know much about anonymous comments. You could try contacting YouTube about that.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you!
Thanks, Kaliopy! Glad you like it. Thanks for taking the time to let me know. Happy Blogging!

Hey Mark,
I actually wanted to find out how to make the Complete List tab disappear. It would be a bit confusing to have two items in your nav with the same page.
thanks very much!

Can you please tell me how to remove the duplicate page tab that you where talking about at the end??? Thank YOU!!!
Use YouTube search or scroll through McBuzzvideo channel WordPress tutorial videos to find “Make Static Page Front/Home Page – Part 3″ or “Make Static Page Front/Home Page – Part 2″. One of these should do the trick. Thanks for your question!
Thanks! This video tutorial was really helpful and clear to understand.
Peace,
Roey.
How do you link page to the second page?
Thanks! I was banging my head against a brick wall for hours and here you solve it in a matter of minutes!
Thank you for making this easy to understand! I’m grateful for teachers who use video to show concepts because it’s much easier for me to grasp than to read something and then try to figure it out.
I must be blind and missing something because I don’t see any of those buttons on my blog. I just signed up for wordpress 4 days ago. Do i have a different version or something.
I also don’t have those buttons.???
I can’t seem to put a link in here so please see the notes at the upper right “Updated tutorial at .. for WordPress version 2.7.” That is what you need.
Oh thanks for answer. I find out myself. Great tutorial anyway.
Thank you for the great tips. I would like to know how to remove the fourth tab in the nav area otherwise we have duplicate content.
