Let me explain...

Can I make a true HTML page (or even a PHP page) I suppose with something like this...

Non-Guru Case Study (can something like this be PHP?)

...as the home page without reinstalling WP on a differnent level or subdomain?

I know there is a home.php and I can select a page from within WP to be a static home page...

I'm lost.

#html #page #true

There is an option in WP settings where you can define page extentions like .html or .htm etc. You can use it to make it look like real web site.

  Granted, I've had a few Coors Lights tonight... well, okay, since breakfast... well okay, since before breakfast... but where is that in the settings?! I don't see it at all! :confused:

Actually, you can.
The trick is to make that whole .php file a Page Template in your theme with the proper code lines at the top* to make WP recognize it, then create a new Page using that template (no need for any content in it) and, finally, select that Page as your frontpage.

Adding extensions to the posts can be done in Settings > Permalinks.
Select your custom permalink structure and add to the end ".html" However, that will not solve your issue to make a page (Page in WP) that looks like the example you gave; it will just add html to your WP posts, nothing else.
So what is it what you want? To have html at the end of your posts (which in most of the cases is completely useless) or to be able to create a Page that looks different than your other WordPress Pages?
