 * I am new to wordpress and website building. I have learned a few tricks such 
   as setting up a static page and I’ve been getting familiar with the program. 
   My ultimate goal is to use wordpress to create a CMS to manage my business and
   also have a blog page. Where can I find in-dept, easy to follow instructions 
   on how to use all of the features on wordpress? I’m also using hostgator for 
   my hosting service.

 * The best place for WordPress information is the Codex [http://codex.wordpress.org/](http://codex.wordpress.org/)
 * Also there are plenty of good CMS themes around that make it very easy to use
   WordPress as a CMS.

 * WordPress is a CMS. Choice of theme will not alter that. 🙂
 * Using the default 2011 theme, set a static page as your front page you have a
   non blog web site: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page)
 * Make a page called ‘blog’ and set it a as the static ‘posts’ page and you have
   a site with a blog too.
