    I am new to wordpress and not a php geek. I have installed wordpress and its working fine. All that i need is to have a static page which I create should be my home page and the blog postings i do should come in a seperate link.

    Home ( Static Page)
    About me ( Static Page)
    My updates ( Blog)

    How to get this done?

    admin – settings – reading

    select option for static front page
    assign Page you created to that

    a bit lower select Blog page you created to be updates posting or whatever

    yeah but how do you individually edit the home page so it doesn’t look like a blog, i want to remove the side bar menu from my country holidays site!!!

    Make a copy of your theme’s page.php file. Rename it to something like nobar.php. At the very top of the file, add:

    <?php
/*
Template Name: No Sidebar
*/
?>

    Remove the <?php get_sidebar(); ?> line and save your new file. Edit your Home page via Admin/Pages and select your new template from the dropdown under Page Attributes.

    i did this for my Foxy Bingo site… I copied then original index and renamed it for backup, then i edited the index.php file a little (removed the right hand menus).

    Then i copy and pasted the code from the origial and added it as a new page. Check it out, still doesn’t feel right though!!!!
