  First: YOU DONT NEED TO POST THIS 2 TIMES!
  2nd: I can’t help you with this issue, as I dont really know how to do this. I’m sure another member would be delighted to help.

  You can set a homepage, and hide the pages bar on the sidebar and show the categories on the sidebar.

  In a blog only one page will automatically update with each new post that you publish by placing the most recent post at the top. Assuming that you do care about such things as page rank then posts belong on your front or “home” page. If you do not care about page rank then you can create and assign a static front page and compel your visitors to click through it every time they want to read your posts.

  Please read this first so your understand the differences between posts and pages http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/11/11/a-post-and-a-page/

  This tells you how to set up a static front page http://faq.wordpress.com/2007/02/20/having-a-static-page-at-the-front-of-the-blog/

  If you just do not like the word “home” on the front page then you can use the technique found in this FAQs entry to hide it http://faq.wordpress.com/2007/07/01/i-have-2-home-page-links/

  can’t help you with this issue, as I dont really know how to do this.

  FWIW the rule of thumb on this forum is that if you do not have an answer that you know to be correct and complete — you don’t post.

  If your front page is merely a land page with for example “enter” on it then I assume that Google will not have anything to actually work with to determine a page rank. But, please correct me if I’m wrong.

  @rideatmoonlight – of course that does not apply to the OT forum. Or the social aspect here.
  Not everyone has spent as much time here as you so they may be unsure and looking to learn.
  We all have to start somewhere.

  Matt Cutts (he works for Google) has nothing at http://mattcutts.com/
  He does have his blog at http://mattcutts.com/blog

  Effectively he would have a static front page. At Wordcamp 2007 he said this was not a bad thing.

  Well your page will display the newest blog first. You also can set how many blogs will be displayed, the default is 10. So if you don’t want a blog on your main page just set the date for posting the blog to be older than 10 other messages. After you post more you can always change it back. You could also simply make all of these type of blogs a date from 10 years ago and there will be no problem.
