 * Basically i started a website a few months ago after getting hosting – [http://www.aboveandbelow.org](http://www.aboveandbelow.org),
   i tried wordpress but impatiently removed it because it gave me a headache, i
   then went on to purchase serif webplus software and have been using that for 
   the last few months,(a waste of money i now think),
 * anyways last night i thought id retry wordpress and use it for a archives system
   on my websiten now that i have had a few months getting used to running a website,
   and tbh im quite impressed its a wicked tool and im actually thinking of using
   it for my whole website,
 * here in lies the problem
 * basically i want to be able to use pages for static content ( not blog posts )
   i looked at creating a page but when i do even if type or dont type in a title
   or description when i publish it comes up like a blog post, the question i have
   is there a way to make static pages with only widgets and not blog type posts
 * id appreciate any help you guys can offer

 * Try creating a page with the default theme twentyeleven. It should show up as
   its own entry on the navigation menu.
 * If what you’re looking for is a static front page, check out the following link.

 * and i want to be able to create multiple static pages were there is nothing but
   widget boxs, not blog post on the page

 * ok so.. first of all go to settings>reading and there change the front page display
   option to a static page(as fonglh said) and select the page u need to be ur homepage
   next create remove all the categories , tags etc. next create your static pages..
   next add em to your menu appearance>menus>custom links.
    adjust your widgets 
   and i guess thts it
 * sorry for bad english
 * good luck

 * Take out the function calls to ‘the_content()’ from your theme files.
