After I posted I kept searching and read further on the instructions setting a home page to be static and lookie-there. It’s all combined. No need for a response, but thanks for pointing me in the right direction with minimal effort!
CTS2, can i ask you how you got your blog on a page other than your static home page? I’m searching through these forums and I’ve found how to set my homepage as a static page and I’ve seen a few mentions of people blogging not on their home page, but I can’t find out how to set up a page to do this. Yours is a recent thread, do you mind pointing me in the right direction?
