Go ahead and explore both test sites and you will see the difference between the two sites.

On Test Site Two you will have to click the title of the site in the header to return to the blog roll or opening page as the blog tab no longer exists when you have the blog roll as the opening page.

This is something I do not really care for in WordPress, and if anyone reading this tutorial knows a solution for this please post it in the comments!

When you are ready lets go over how we set each one up.

Test Site One

This site has a static page for a home page and another assigned page for a blog roll.

How we set that up is the first thing we do is create a new page and label it HOME.

You can add your content for your home page anytime you want. You do not need it on the page right now but if you want to add it that is OK.

Then we create another page and we label it whatever you want the name of your blog to be. On this Test Site One I labeled my blog as Shawn's Blog.

We leave this page completely blank as every time we create a new post it will show up here automatically in the form of a blog roll. How does it know to assign the posts to this page you ask? Because we will set it up that way in the settings section.

Lets go take a look at the final step in setting this website up with a static page.
