STEP 5: Go back and check that all is correct with your changes.

  • Go to the dashboard and click on “Pages”. Next to the page that you made to be your static home page will show “Front Page” next to it.
  • Next to the new Blog page it will show “Posts Page”.
  • Notice that both your home page and blog page show up under “Pages”. However, when you create a new post you should continue to put them under “Posts” and they will automatically be placed on the rolling blog page called “Blog”.

Hello Fello WA'ers. Just wanted to know that I have made edits and deleted the use of a plugin after further testing. I apologize the the inconvenience.

Hi verna what is a rolling blog. Is it like a slider?

On most of the themes, the first page a person sees when they come to your site is where all your posts are. This is what is referred to as your rolling blog. Some also call it your blog roll. You can just keep scrolling from one post to the next. This is a way that you can have your blog on your website and not have to maintain a separate website just to house your blog. You can check out this blog post of mine.

Just so you know -- I changed my landing page to a static page and put my rolling blog in another location. You can see that I have a tab in the navigation menu.

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.

Jay's webinar explains why we should have a static page:

Thanks Paul. Since the beginning I always wanted to make my home page to be static, but couldn't get it to work. Glad you found it helpful.

Strange I have done it from day one as I felt it was the way to go and I always say go with that gut feeling !!

I tried a long time ago, but I think those that were trying to help me left out some important instructions. Unfortunately, sometimes people don't give detailed instructions because they incorrectly assume that you know certain things. Therefore, I never got it to work until now.
