A Very Cool And Little Known WP Trick !

Have you ever wanted to set up a WP site for something but did'nt want it to look like your usual run of the mill WP setup with all the posts, dates, posted by admin type stuff going on. Many people will spend quite a while trying to find a new theme that will give them the plain non-bloggy look they are after but unless you use a premium WP sales page theme, it's still gonna look like a blog.

Whenever you create a new page on your blog you will notice that it is plain and without all of the above mentioned. Infact, I have many of my clients say to me “If only I could make my homepage look like a certain page of my blog” and my answer is always the same...... YOU CAN !!!

Here is how you do it...

Setup your WP blog as you normally would and choose whatever theme you want.
Next, create a new page and add all the content that you would have added to your homepage.
You can call this page whatever you want.

Once created you will see your page title in the top nav bar like you would for any other page you create. Now it's time to make that page your home page.

While in your WP dashboard go to the settings tab on the lower left of your dashboard and click “Reading”. Then where it says “Front page displays” select the static page option then where it says “Front Page” choose the page you just created from the drop down menu. Click “Save Changes” and you are all done. You now have a homepage that does not look like your usual WP blog !

Enjoy
