    I need help making my homepage static on my wordpress blog. I created my first post, but I want that information to be the only on my homepage, but keep the rest of the posts I will create off the homepage, but have their own urls.

    My blog url is http://www.shoppingcouponsanddiscounts.com.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    If you are not a coder then you can do this in 2 ways.

    1. From wordpress admin go to settings>reading , set the option "Blog pages show at most" to 1, then you will see your home page is showing the most latest post.

    OR

    2.Create a page rather than a post. Then go to settings>reading in admin , set "Front page displays" to "a static page" and select the page from dropdown. It will show only that page in homepage.

    I think your problem is solved. If you still face problem, you can PM me.

    The way I would do it is to have the front page in it's own category like "home" and have any other post in any different category. Then on the index.php file of the template you set the query to only pull posts from the home category and only display one post. This will, in turn, allow for multiple posts that append to the subpage(s), but not the home page.

    I see you haven`t fixed it yet. Another way is to install your blog to a folder. This then leaves your index outside the folder with a redirect to your blog. What you can do is replace it with a link to the blog and make you index the way you want.
