    I am in the process of developing my first WordPress website and can not seem to figure out how to access the “Home” page so that I can add content, pictures, etc. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Most themes by default have the Blog Posts as the home page so it is not directly editable.

    If you would like a Page to be the home page, and have the Posts on a separate page, do the following:

    – Pages > Add new and create a home page and Publish it. You can add content in a minute.
    – Pages > Add new and create a page called Blog, leave it blank and Publish it.
    – Go to Settings > Reading and change from Your latest Posts to A static page. In the two dropdowns select your new Pages to be the Front page (home) and Posts page respectively.

    The blank Blog page will now automatically have blog posts put onto it. The page you set as the Front page however is now available to be edited and will show up as the home page. So go back to Pages and edit the page you set as the Front page and this will now show up.

    I hope that makes sense, let me know if you need me to clarify.
