Next click on

“Reading” in the

Settings Section.

This is where you

create a site, a

blog, or a

combination.

By default the

home page is the

blog page.

To change it to a

site just select:

“A static Page”

and pick one from

the list.

Note: If you don’t

have a home page

simply create one

then come back

here.
