# Need help with 'Home' tab

 * I am using Twentyeleven theme and the hometab is hard coded in as a blog post.
   I want my Home tab to be a ‘page’ not a ‘blog’, is it possible to change the 
   layout? I am a beginner so as many ‘non-jargon’ words as possible would be appreciated.
   If you tell me what I need to do (if possible) in laymen’s terms, THEN tell me
   the steps I will be good to go. I already see where the script is: Dashboard<
   Appearances< Editor< Templates (located on the right side of screen)< Header.
 * Here is some of the coding:
 * // Add the blog description for the home/front page.
    $site_description = get_bloginfo(‘
   description’, ‘display’ ); if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page()))
   echo ” | $site_description”;
 *  // Add a page number if necessary:
    if ( $paged >= 2 || $page >= 2 ) echo ‘ 
   | ‘ . sprintf( __( ‘Page %s’, ‘twentyeleven’ ), max( $paged, $page ) );
 *  ?></title>
    ———————-Later in coding —————————-
 * </span></h1>
    <h2 id=”site-description”><?php bloginfo( ‘description’ ); ?></
   h2> </hgroup>
 *  <?php
    // Check to see if the header image has been removed $header_image = 
   get_header_image(); if ( ! empty( $header_image ) ) : ?> “> <?php
 * Please help! Thanks everyone

 * Have you tried the following in the wordpress admin?
 * 1. Settings -> Reading
 * Where it says “front page displays”, change ‘your latest posts’ to ‘a static 
   page’ and then select which page you want as the front page.
