    Easy, you go into the settings of your wordpress page and go into reading. Then you can click the radio button for static page and select the page you want static. That is all it takes.

    First step is to create a page you want to use as the home page. It's also a good idea to make a page to hold your blog posts, unless you don't plan to use that feature.

    After you've created the pages you go into your Settings and choose Reading. You'll see "Front Page Displays" with a couple of radio buttons and combo boxes. Select "A static page" and choose the page you created for the Front page with the combo box. You may also point the Posts Page to the one you setup for your blog.

    Hope this helps.

    Happy Holidays!
