Can I have my blog at /blog, but use a WP static page as my homepage? (2 posts)

    Hey there.

    So I’ve installed WP at my site, and I’d like to do something similar to what can be found at komodomedia.com:

    – Use a WP static page at my site root
    – Have other pages below the root, such as /about etc.
    – Have my blog at /blog

    First of all, is this possible? Second of all, I may have misunderstand just how WP is being utilised at the above website, but what I’ve described is what I’d like to do, if possible.

    (Originally I tried having WP at my site root, but I would like to have a more interesting page there; then I tried moving my blog to /blog and just redirecting from the root in the meantime; then I realised that I could only have static pages below /blog, which didn’t make a lot of sense.)

    Hope you can help.
