   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!!!!
