Log into the WordPress administrator panel by going to www.yoursite.com/wp-admin

Go to the Pages option and then create two WordPress Pages.

Title one as “Home” (or whatever name you want to use) – This will be your “static” front page.

Set the template for the “Home” to the default template or any custom template.

Add any content that you would like to have on your “Home” page.

Publish the Page.

Create the second page and name it “Blog”, “Articles” or “News” etc.  This page will be used to show alla place-holder for showing the Posts on your site.

Do not use a custom Page template for this page!

DO NOT add content to the Blog Page. Leave it blank. Any content here will be ignored — only the Title is used.

Publish the Page.

Next, you need to change the initial page to be the Home page.  Go to Settings > Reading.

In the ’Front Page Displays’ section select ’A static page’ and choose the ‘Front Page’ as the first page you have just created.

Select the Blog page as the ‘Posts Page’.

Save changes.
