  I currently have a blog on wordpress, which I would like to turn into a website and incorporate more information –effectively I want to amalgamate the blog with a few other sites here on wordpress. I believe I can do this by having a static HOME front page and retitling the blog. Is this correct? If I do this how will it affect people who are following my blog. Will they still receive the notifications from the blog?

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

  Infortunately happens you have sent me ‘useful’ but without answering the question.
  If I create a static home page , and rename the blog will it affect those following me? Will they need to ‘refollow’ me or will it just continue as before?

  They don’t need to refollow. Followers are automatically moved when you change the blog address.

  So I can just change the name of the blog and have a static home page! Excellent! Thank you! You have restored my faith in Support services. :-)
