  Hi,

  I made a blog some hours ago but I’m encountering some trouble.
  I’d like my frontpage to be a static page but I do not want that static page to be shown in the menu bar with all the other pages.

  Could anyone help me please?

  Thanks in advance,
  Lora

  Simply set your static front page from Settings -> Reading – http://support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ – and then ‘hide’ that page from your primary navigation menu – http://support.wordpress.com/pages/hide-pages/#hide-from-the-navigation-menu

  Well after I’ve hidden it, the page is called: Private: (name)

  Hiding means setting another page as its parent, not turning it private.

  Try this – http://theworldsfullof.us/?p=35

  I use it, uncheck a box and the page is there, normal but not listed in any automated navigation menus.

  Happy surfing :)

  That link is for a blog “powered by WordPress” i.e. a WordPress.org blog.
  The information is not useful for WordPress.com blogs. We can not use plug-ins.
  The two kinds of WordPress are different from each other:
