   hi there!

   I'm trying to make an html page show as the homepage of my site

   homepage:
   http://www.edwardseckerson.biz/homepage.html

   site:
   http://www.edwardseckerson.biz

   i've tried reading other topics in this forum, and have created a 'static' page, but this keeps the header php file in the page, so it doesn't quite work quite in the way that i need it to.

   does anyone have any ideas?!
   a virtual beer to anyone who can help me out, it's riving me crazy :)

   thanks
   mq

   try renaming it to main.php.. I haven't got much time to look at the documentation, but I understand that if you want to change your default home page you should add a main.php file to your themes folder.

   create a page
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates
   you don't have to call the header, sidebar or footer this way if you don't want to

   admin - settings - reading
   select created page as static home page
