 * I’m just getting started. Setting up my front page and it seems like I have to
   use the posts page as my front page, but I want a static front page. Am I missing
   something?
 * Also, where can I find instructions for using the library to clip items?

 * Hi richdixon
 * If you want to display a static page as a front page, follow these steps:
 * 1. Go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Reading
    2. Set your “Front page displays” 
   to “A static page (select below)” 3. Select the page from the drop-down (the 
   page which you want to show as front page) 4. Click on “Save Changes”
 * Can you please elaborate the library to clip items?
 * Thanks
