For the record, it's easy to setup a page within WP that is your default front page instead of the normal blog page. The best instructions I've found is here http://www.richandstephsipe.com/word...atic-homepage/


What I do is I take page.php, rename it to whatever, home, welcome, etc. and then edit it to look the way I want.

I call mine home-page-template.php. You'll need to add the following code to the top of the template as well

<?php /*
Template Name: Home Page Template
*/
?>

Then create a new page, give it a title and scroll down on the right hand side under attributes and select that page as the template. Save.

Then under settings/reading set the front page to the page you just created.

Now create another new page, call it anything you want but this will be your blog. Under attributes/templates select default template.

Then go back to settings/reading and set this page as the page for post pages.
