NOTE: More tutorials at mcbuzz.wordpress.com This beginner-level WordPress Tutorial by Mark McLaren of McBuzz Communications shows how to make a “static” WordPress page your Home page (also called a “front page”), and how to hide the second Home page link that sometimes appears in your site navigation when you make that static page a Home page. By default, a WordPress website displays the blog page on the home front page. For example, when you go to the Business Blogging 101 website at mcbuzz.wordpress.com you see blog posts with the most recent post at the top of the page and earlier posts below that. WordPress allows you to select a different page as your home page, so that you can display more traditional content like information about yourself or your business. You can also create another page to use as your blog page, with a link to that page in your site navigation. Watch this tutorial to see how to do this. One problem you may run into when you make a static page your home page is that the link to that page now appears in the main site navigation, so that you have two links to the same page – usually the page called “Home”. The second part of this tutorial shows how to remove one of those links from your site navigation so that visitors to your site are not confused by the duplicate link.

So WordPress is just a publishing tool… Someone told me to learn WordPress so I can build a website. I’ll stick to Adobe Dreamweaver for that, I’m a code guy anyway.
Great help! you have no idea how much!!!

When this video was made, we were limited to 10 minutes on how long our video could be, so I crammed as much in as possible.
It I best viewed and paused along the way. I’d be happy to create a new version with some tips from the community. I am now a YouTube partner so we can upload much longer videos.
Very visually appealing but the video assumes the viewer knows far too much, in order for the video to progress so rapidly. Try slowing down the progression and explain the navigation of each step a bit more.
learned somethings, thank you!
Thank You, very much
Hugely useful. Thanks for putting this up.
Perfecto!! Thx!!

What about the page that appears when you first go to your website? If you go into dashboard, go to appearances, go to theme, then Theme options, you can type up a welcome page which was my first landing page! The print is large and scary!
Why is this even an option to create? I did this page and I couldn’t remove it for nothing in the world. Try it!

Thankyou McBuzz.
Was pulling hair out trying to work out why i had two home pages. As a newbie, i couldn’t understand why my original home page wasn’t showing up under select page as home page pull-down. So i creates a home page – ending up with two. By setting second home page as a child page to Blog page, it vanished. But neither does it appear anywhere on blog page; no links, nothing. Just what i wanted.
Thanks!
Need to tighten up presentation. Should have taken five minutes or less to show how to create a static page. You also alluded to links and “my theme” but didn’t show how links are related to navigation nor which theme you’re using.
People can see it but they cant see it when there editing
I made a custom theme with Artisteer 2 and the original home page button disappeared on mine.
your tutorials are great, some of it’s simple compared to other webpages I work on, but occasionally it’s something simple that I just don’t know where to look.
Thank you for the tutorial! Sure helped a great deal.
good tutorial…but the original homepage will not disappear from the page menu ??
And the new homepage is stuck at the end, how do you get it to the start?
Thx
Can other people actually see the site that you made or can you only see it???
