 * On a new install of 3.0.1 under settings, my reading settings does not give an
   option for having the home page be either a static page or blog posts. Is this
   the way it should be in 3.0.1? Thanks.

 * I think that this must be because you do not have created any pages yet. After
   you’ve added new pages, the option to use your home page as a static page should
   appear.

 * No – it’s not. Are you missing the “Front page displays…” sub-section completely?
   Or can’t you select the static page radio button? Do you have any published Pages
   yet?

 * You are right, as soon as I created a page, the option appeared. Thanks for the
   help.

 * Addendum. The “No – it’s not” comment in my post was in response to the original
   post. Not crondeau’s correct answer. 🙂

 * Thanks indeed for pointing that out esmi. I did scratch my head a bit when I 
   saw your “NO”. 🙂
