I am using Vantage theme and I have never tried using static page for front page before.
If I want to post artilcles, how do I make them show up on front page that is static?

I know I could post them in the static page but then they don't show up titled right in google, right?

    You could add a shortcode post plugin, to simply add a shortcode in the editor for the static page where you would like the posts to be displayed.

    If you have custom widget areas on the static page you could also do it with widgets.

    I don't know Vantage so I'm not sure what the best way to achieve posts would be.

    I have the page builder plug in which i used to build the static page for front page, so I could easily just add text boxes for articles, but that won't work right for search engines will it?

    people finding that info on google would go to static page and article might be far down on that page and they would not see it.

    The folks who make the Vantage theme also make the SiteOrigin Page Builder. There is a widget that comes with Page Builder called post loop that will let you set up posts to be displayed with title and snippet.

    Thanks, I made a new row and added post loop widget and just see a bunch of selections and no place to write the post. Can you tell me how it works? Which template selection? post type on post right?

      Ron,

      You write "Posts" using the Post Add New function in your sites dashboard. once you have posts written, when you use the 'post loop widget' the posts that you have written will be displayed in that section of your home page.

    This can be done with the help of get_posts method.

    <?php
    global $post;
    $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=6&category=1');
    foreach($myposts as $post) :
    ?>
    <?php the_title(); ?>
    <?php the_content(); ?>
    <?php endforeach;
    ?>
