How to create a homepage
-
Hello all,
Forgive my lack of technical terminology! I have created a website which has different subsections – Home, About me, services, contact etc…But I am looking to have the HOME section (which is a brief intro into my services and a welcome) as the first thing anyone who visits my site sees. I am stuggling to achieve this. Please could you help? My website address is rishajoshi.comThank you!

You have two choices on any blog
(1) All posts on the front page.
(2) A static front page and posts on a different page.By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors who will not be happy to have to click through an About page every time they visit your blog as they come to read your most recently published content. Creating that situation can make some visitors annoyed – so annoyed that they stop following your blog.
However, 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 all published posts (not pages) to display on in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top.
To do that create two pages first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change for each of the two page and click “save changes”.
A static page (select below)

If you read the guide I linked to at the bottom first you will find that the Twenty Eleven theme has a Showcase page template.
