By default, your landing page (home page) is set to show all your latest posts. But what if you wanted your landing page to be a special page that you have created. This can be done through Wordpress without needing to install a special plugin.

The first step is to create a new page in your Wordpress editor. This is going to be your home page (or landing page) so make sure that it contains information about your niche or your brand.

You can add visual elements like logos etc to advertise your brand. This tutorial is not going to cover page set up and design. If you need any help with creating pages you can find it in the WA training and classrooms.

Once you have finished creating your new page, publish it. Next step.....

Thanks Gary, training was great. Very easy to understand. Just what I was looking for. I have one question though. I currently have 107 posts and 5 pages. If I decide to put my posts (blogroll) under a different page will that change their URL? I obviously don't want that as it would screw up my rankings.

Hi Craig

Thanks for your kind words.

Moving your posts to show on a different blogroll on your website does not interfere with their individual URLs. It has no effect on rankings at all and is simply shuffling the layout of your website.
