 * I have read a lot of posts about how to get a static page inside the site.
    I
   am looking for the opposite: index page wouldn’t gave dynamic posts but a static
   post (welcome message and introducing) and all other pages remain standard dynamic
   pages. Any suggestion about it ? Thanks to anybody can help.

 * Try putting WordPress into a subfolder… That way your homepage could be [http://yoursite.com/](http://yoursite.com/)
   while your weblog be at [http://yoursite.com/blog/](http://yoursite.com/blog/)

 * Really nice !
    I used [http://mysite.com/home.php](http://mysite.com/home.php)
   and [http://mysite.com/blog/](http://mysite.com/blog/) Very easy to do; some 
   stuff for the style sheet but good result. Additional question: I am going to
   replace the loop in my new home page (see [http://wiki.wordpress.org/TheLoop](http://wiki.wordpress.org/TheLoop))
   in order to display welcome message. Good solution instead of some words inside
   home.php would be to use one specific entry. How to assign in the home.php a 
   specific entry ?

 * Suppose I do that. I have an index.php and installed wp under /wp (for example),
   how do I use the templates to “affect” the index.php in the root directory of
   my site?

 * OK, I have solved my problem… I basically copied index.php to my home.php, so
   now I have the static page I was looking for at the begining of the site.
 * Now, how do I go to the “normal” blog screen? where do I have to point to? I 
   was thinking on creating a new “index2.php” but it won’t work.
