Home Page as Front Page?

Correction. My site is:

christopherorlowski.net

Go to “Settings > Reading Options” and select a page to display as your front page.

For some reason this doesn’t work. I selected static page and “home” but no go. Does it have anything to do with the fact that I’m using portfolio categories for my menus/pages?

I assume you want to display the portfolio on the home page? If so, make sure the correct page template is selected.

If not, it should show whatever content you have on the “Home” page.
