Also, you can browse the Plugins section in the Codex.
On many blogs I am using this plugin:

Hi Moshu,
Here is something I am looking for, instead of having a sticky post at home page.
I normally look out for a static home page, following them would be blogs, and again the blog posts need not appear on home page unless and other wise mentioned.
I shall add category or links in sidebar so that users click from them, hope you get what I mean. In homepage I just want welcome message and nothing more and for reading blog posts, one has to browse the links I put in sidebar or use category and navigate to find articles.
Thanks,
Dream
So, can’t you use the same plugin I gave above?
Since I don’t like any of the so-called “frontpage plugins” I always do it in this way:
– create a home.php, e.g. by saving your index.php (in the theme)
– delete The_Loop
– create a Page with your welcome message (and, eventually, exclude it from being shown in the Pages list, if you use it)
– call that Page with the plugin above in the home.php
Your blog’s main page will display only the welcome message and whatever esle you put there + you can update/edit that mesaage any time from the admin, without editing files.
Does this help?
moshu,
I was having that exact problem so I followed your suggestion – it worked like a charm!
Thanks for the tip!
