    I am attempting to help a friend set up his first WP blog. Unfortunately, this is my first blog as well. Right now, our main issue is the front page title: “Welcome to our blog!”. Under pages, in the dashboard, there are no pages currently listed. Right now, I am using the Wordpost theme, and am hosted by GoDaddy.

    The blog can be found at garmanlord.com/wordpress/ .

  • If you did not choose the home page to display a static page, the “Welcome to our blog!” will be displaying. To get rid of it, or edit it, just make a child theme, and copy the header.php file to the child theme ( wordpost-child ), then edit this line :

    <h1>
  <?php if ( is_page() )
    echo the_title();
  else
    _e( 'Welcome to our blog!', 'wordpost' ); ?>
</h1>

    Add your custom message or delete 'Welcome to our blog!' => _e( '', 'wordpost' );

    Happy blogging with WordPress ??
