 * Hi according to the instruction of this page – [http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page)
   I create the page and changed to “A static page” and then made as “front page”
 * But how to do this third point “**3.Enable “Permalinks” to show the “page title”
   in the address, since /index.php?p=423 defeats the purpose of making a static
   front page.**” pls help

 * 1. login into your wp-admin/dashboard area
    2. on the left sidebar, point to 
   Settings -> Permalinks 3. choose your desired options, usually for best results,
   you need to choose option 3 (Month and name) 4. then click Save Changes

   after choosing as “A static page” and then from selecting “Front page” in Setting
