  When beginning with WordPress, I chose to make a static welcome page my “Home”–the page that always opens first when people click on a link and land at my blog/site. Now I would like to change the opening page, and make the first page open to the blog itself.

  I’ve looked everywhere and can’t figure out how to make my WordPress open at the blog itself rather than the static “welcome” home page I first created. Please help?

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

  Settings->General I believe. There’s a drop-down and you choose either a Static page or teh Blog page.Might be Settings->Reading instead.
