Want to alter my home page to a static version.

To elaborate slightly on alchymyth’s post:

You basically just need to create the static page you want for your home page like you would normally create a page (NOT a POST!).

Then go into your “reading” settings and set the home page as a static page by clicking the radio button and selecting the page you created earlier from the pages listed in the drop down box.
