Educators occasionally use a static home page to provide background information to parents or students about the purpose of the blog. Their Home page normally contains content that rarely changes and latest posts are viewed by clicking on the link to the Posts page. So you might be thing that how to make a static page for your blog. Here are the steps
Go Through The Following Steps
1. Go to Page > Add New
2. Give the page the title Home, write the content you want displayed on the front page of your blog and click then Publish.
3. Click Page > Add New again and create a new page titled Posts. You don’t need to add content to this page since this is the page that will display your latest posts.
4. Go to Settings > Reading
5. Change your settings to A Static page with Front page: Home and Post Page: Posts and then click Save Changes.
The front page of your blog should contains the content that your wrote for the Home page and your latest posts are viewed by clicking on the link to the Posts page.
However with some themes you end up with two Home links. This happens because many themes are hard coded to display “Home” link even when there are no other pages on the blog.
To remove the second Home link you just edit the Home page to make it a sub page of another page.
How Make Sub Pages
1. Go to Pages > Edit
2. Hover over Title Home to bring up action links and click on Edit
3. In the attribute module change the page from being a main page (parent) to be locating under another page (its parent page) and click Update Page. In the example below the home page is now located under the About page.
Tip: If you’re planning to delete the About page you would locate it under the post page.
