I have followed the instructions several times to set up a static page. However when I am done the page I preview does not look at all like a webpage it is still my blog page. I have followed the video step by step. What do I do. Thank you

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

The front page of the blog by default will display your posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. If you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts.

Choice 1 static front page
Choice 2 running page for all posts on front page

Which do you choose? It’s one or the other.

If you choose a static front page then you have to create two pages as I said above. After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.

Front page displays

I have tried again today but no change. Do I have to upgrade to be able to do what I want to do?
