STEP 4: In this step you will change your landing page (Home Page). This is the first page that visitors will see when they come to your website. At this point, the landing page continues to show your posts in your rolling blog.
I would suggest that before you begin this step; make sure you have considered exactly what page from your navigation menu that you want to be your homepage. Or, make sure you have already written the article if you plan to use an entirely new page.
If you are using a new page, that page should have already been published since it may not show up in the list for choosing.
- In the dashboard go to “Settings”, then go to “Reading”. This is where you will make the home page (landing page) rolling blog move to your new “Blog” posts page and your home page will become a static page for whatever page you now want to be the page people see when they first get to you website.
- When you first go the “settings”, the “Front page displays” will show that “Your latest posts” is ticked as seen below.
- Change by ticking the“A static page (select below).
- In “Front page” select page that you now want to be your home page from the drop down arrow.
- In “Posts page”, select the new page “Blog” (or whatever you named it) that you now want to be your rolling blog.
- Make sure “Full text” is ticked.
- Click “Save Changes” button.

I liked this training a lot. I also like the idea of putting our affiliate marketing page as the static page on the front page because that is what we are all promoting - how to get into the world of affiliate marketing. Make your landing page relevant so your website is more definitive.
