  How do I add a blog to my current website? It’s http://www.abdallahfitness.com. I want to keep my home page static and never-changing. I want, when visitors click the “Hot Topics” section, for that section to have the newest blog posts on the top. I’d appreciate some help as I’ve tried everything and can’t figure it out. This is a very simple feature that I hope I can find.

  Again, I want my home page to be unchanged, and for my visitors to click the Hot Topics section and have only that tab display as a “newest articles are at the top” kind of fashion.

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there!

  Sure! So what you can do is create your static front page by going to Pages > Add new in your Dashboard. If you’ve already created it, great! Then, publish a new page titled: Hot Topics (you can leave this blank).

  Then, go to Settings > Reading in your Dashboard and next to Front Page Displays, set it to: A static page. Then, set your static front page, and your Posts page to Hot Topics as seen here:

  

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!
