Does wordpress have a phone #?

Yes, you can create a static, semi-static, or anything in between

Thank you. I’m going to look at your links, but in the meantime do you happen to know which themes work best for websites vis a vis blogs?

I would think that almost any theme (except for the magazine style ones) would work well. You can have a static front page, several other static pages, and a blog page with your posts. It’s mostly a matter of preference for the layout.

Take a look at the theme directory, and click on the “Preview” button for each theme, to see a live demo.
