richsipe, your response and your tutorial via the link are helpful yet there is something you said that piqued my interest. “Also if you have a home.php file I think you need to rename/blow it away because it causes issues.”
pardon me if this has been answered/explained somewhere else: wordpress doesn’t give me the opportunity to select the “home” page which is by default the root (did I get that right). I followed all the directions on wordpress and some tutorials–quite easy–but it ended up with pages: Home, About, Welcome (which I would like to be the static home page) and The Dispatch (the blog–which actually works). The issue being that both Home and Welcome go to the same spot (the root). Don’t need them both but WordPress won’t let me select “Home” as a page. I imagine this has something to do with what you said about blowing up the home.php file which I’d love to do but don’t exactly know how.
At this point I’d take either Home or Welcome as my Static page but not both.
(Sorry if this is too novice for you pros but…)
