In reply to: Designating 'home page' versus 'posts'?Bingo! Your image (thank you very much!) shows a clearly different display than I am viewing; here is text for what I see (sorry, I do not know how to save a screenshot):

Blog pages show at most posts

It is up to search engines to honor this request.I originally acquired WP3.7, and then some days later I updated to 3.7.1. Should I scrap all and start over with a fresh copy of WP? Please suggest what should I do now? Many thanks!!!

In reply to: Designating 'home page' versus 'posts'?I read that page weeks ago (and now!), and think I followed it fully as far as I could. Under the section, Creating a Static Front Page, it leads to step 3, starting with “Go to Administration>Settings>Reading panel; I use Dashboard>Settings>Reading, and run into a dead end. I see no Front Page there, and hence see no drop down menu … ditto for Posts Page. As part of my problem, I notice that several other items in the CODEX descriptions do not match what I see with WP3.7.1.
Am I possihbly in the wrong place? Am I missing seeing something that is hidden? If so, please do not be bashful about telling me what to do. Thank you!

In reply to: Designating 'home page' versus 'posts'?I have created a static status for my front page already. The situation appears to be that everything is categorized and displayed by the software as a Home Page, even if it is created as a Post (i.e., created as a New Post).
My dashboard>settings>readings displays only 4 items, none of which is home page versus blog (= #3 on the CODEX instructions you have referred to above).
Please give me more advice! Thank you!
