    I wanna create a welcome page (the front page of the site) which has some static content. Rest of the pages will be fetched from the admin side and hence is edit-able. Now a guy told me to create a page named home.php and to my utmost surprise, the static content in home.php appears at the front page(once i enter the site url). I have been of the notion that the content of the index page should appear at first . Please let me know if I should rephrase the query. Or am I missing certain things.

    Hey sachindra149,

    If you mean you want the “home” section to be the first page of your site, and contains your welcome text, you can change this by Admin page < settings <reading< static page, and choose which one is the front page and which page will be your posts page.[link moderated – if you have videos and tutorials that are helpful please submit them to http://wordpress.tv/ and use those links]

    Dina ,this seems quite helpful.. but then why is that you are getting posts as a post as well where this has to be a page only.. This seems a bit of confusing.

    Hi sachindra149,
    No. All my posts are held in “Posts” Page that i created. If i would name that “Posts” page as, “News” then all my posts are in the “News” page. In the video, the “Home” contains a welcome text. Did you watch the video the full length? 😛 Or do you mean you don’t want to display all your posts? leave comment in my blog, it would be easier than here.
