It is actually surprisingly simple to change your WordPress Blog into a WordPress website. The benefit is that you wind up with a static web page as your home page and you have a blog, or update page as well. This means you keep the blog and you can change the name of it to updates, news, latest, etc…
Visit Pages.
Pages is a tab on your dashboard. Under pages you want add new. Here you are going to create a home page. You can call it anything you like, but you probably want to use a name that lets people know it is the home page. This is the page people will land on when they visit your website.
Next you will need to create a page that will be the new name for your blog. You can use blog, updates, news or anything you like. This name needs to reflect that this is where people can find the latest information.
Visit Settings
After you have created the pages you are going to scroll down on the dashboard to settings. Beneath settings is a tab called reading. On the right you are going to change the radio box from “Your Latest posts” to “A static page.” Now you are going to select your front page, which is the page people will land on when they visit your website.
Next you will need to select the page you named for your posts. Once you have done this you will have what looks like a regular website. You will also have the ability to share latest information with your readers!
that this is something I never expected. Thanks so much for the genius idea! The home page can be a great landing page to lead people into converting (a static page with some addons) and then add the blog on another 'page'. Great great idea! Thanks for the thought!–PK
Thank you Piotr! I am rather enjoying your blog posts as well. We seem to writing about similar topics we may should trade out one day and guest blog on each other’s blog!
