Quick wordpress question.

4 replies
Hi,

I have put a site together called lifeinceret.com What I want to do is have several pages that remain static, events, history of the area etc.
I also want to have a seperate page which will be the blog. If I just add it as a page, does that mean I will only be able to update it from the bottom of the page? It will come out as a single post. I want to be able to add from the top like you would from a usual wordpress blog. I don't mind not having the date on each post, but I do want it to scroll down.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Andy

    Hi Andy

    First create a page which you want to call home and it will be your static home page and then create another page and call it Blog.

    Now go into settings and reading and choose the static page option and use home for your front page and then blog for your posts.

    Thats it really. Here is a video.

    You can always update the page - bottom or top of the page.. it doesn't matter. The latest post shows on the top of the browser window. It just easier to use "posts" then pages - as far as updating concerns. WP "page" is really more for some kind of static content.

    Wordpress pages contain only static content,if you want to add some content then everytime you need to go to the edit page section and add your content below the previous one.This is opposite to posts where you can easily add new content and that adds to the page auto automatically.So try adding posts to your blog.

    Guest post links are effective when they are contextual and natural!!
