How to make a single wordpress post as the homepage or a static page?

Hi,

I've been trying to do this for a while and I'm not able to get it working.

I would like this post:

http://douglassvilletownhomes.com/?p=11

to be my home page.

I've tried making a custom template that calls the post but I dont think I did it right and doesn't display everything properly.

I used the following code, but it doesn't seem to pull the data properly.

<?php /* Template Name: PostDisplayTemplate */ ?>

<?php get_header(); ?>


<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<h2 class="h2-section h2-property"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/lib/inc/details.php'); ?>

<h2 id="h2-description" class="h2-section"><?php _e('Description',TS_DOMAIN); ?></h2>

<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="box3 description clearfix">

<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php the_tags('<p class="post-tags">'.__('Tags').': ', ', ', '</p>'); ?>

</div>

<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/lib/inc/photos.php'); ?>

<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/lib/inc/location.php'); ?>

<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/lib/inc/contact.php'); ?>

<?php // comments_template(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php else : ?>

<h2 id="h2-404" class="h2-section"><?php _e('Sorry, not found!',TS_DOMAIN); ?></h2>

<div class="box3 clearfix">

<p><?php _e('Sorry, no entries matched your criteria.',TS_DOMAIN); ?></p>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/searchform.php"); ?>

</div><!-- end post -->

<?php endif; ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Does anyone have any idea how I can make this work?? Help!!

Thanks!
