Hi jamer31,
You can choose if your site opens with a listing of your latest posts, which is the default method, or you can set a static page as your main page.
You can do this under the Reading Settings. From admin, choose Settings → Reading.
For Front page displays, choose “A static page” and set your Front page which the homepage of your choice.
