 * Hi,
 * I got an template and i successfully added to my wordpress but now i want to 
   setup static frontpage i did all this but i didnt get any changes:
 * >  Create a Front Page: In Pages choose Add New Page.
   >  Title it “Home”.
   >  If the WordPress Theme offers an option to change the look
   > and feel of the front page, select the Template in the Page Attributes panel
   > box. Add content you would like to see within the content area of the static
   > front page, or leave it blank if it is a Dynamic front page. Publish the Page.
   > Create a Blog Page: If choosing to add a blog, choose Add New Page again.
   >  Title it “Blog,” “News,” “Articles,” or an appropriate name.
   >  Do not use a
   > custom Page template for this page. The template files home.php or index.php
   > will be used to generate this page in the Theme. DO NOT add content. Leave 
   > it blank. Any content here will be ignored — only the Title is used. Publish
   > the Page. Reading panel
   > Go to Administration > Settings > Reading panel.
   >  Set Front page displays to a static page
   >  In the drop down menu for Front 
   > Page select “Home.” In the drop down menu for Posts page select “Blog” or the
   > name you created, or leave it blank if you will not feature posts on the site.
   > Save changes.
