How do I make the home page static and still call it 'Home'?

    Hello,
    I would like to make my home page a static one. The current one is not static and is called ‘Home’. I would like to re-name this and call it ‘news’, and put it at the end of the list of pages under the header banner. I would also like to know if it is possible to delete the blog style page altogether?
    Many thanks
    Lucy

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

    That is not a Page. It’s a Home tab provided by the theme and it cannot be edited. If you create a custom menu and then you can simply exclude it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

    A custom menu allows you to display Categories with drop-downs to sub-categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation where normally only Pages tabs are displayed. If you wish you can also include Pages with drop-downs to sub-pages and/or Custom links in your custom menu as well. You are in charge of what appears in a custom menu. You choose the order in which to display any and/or all the foregoing in your custom menu. You choose which to display and which to hide.

    Also note that if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create another page called “News” and a second Page called “Posts” ( or Blog or whatever) for your posts to display on. Then you can designate them here > Settings > Reading
