  I’d like to make my image gallery into the first thing visitors see, like a landing page. Is there anyway that I can accomplish this? Thank you in advance.

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

  Hi there!

  I can see that you currently have your front page setup so that it pulls in all of your latest posts. If you’d prefer, you can set it up as a static front page. This can be done via the WordPress.com Customizer. To get to the Customizer, go to My Site and then select Customize in the sidebar:

  https://wordpress.com/customize/adrianajgarces.com

  You have a few different options for styling your theme on this page. Select the Static Front Page tab and then check the A static page option below ‘Front page displays.’ You’ll then be able to select the page you wish from the ‘Front page’ dropdown.

  A lot of our theme’s also have special custom page templates that you can assign to different pages. Edin, the theme you’re using, has a special Front Page template that you could assign to your front page. You could then use the theme’s builtin theme options to further customise your site. The theme’s documentation has some further explanation on this:

  You could also experiment by including image galleries into your front page:

  I appreciate that’s a lot of information to throw at you. :) Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions while working through that.
