    I am having an issue on my blog where I want to make the “about” page the front page of my blog.. I have successfully done this but now a reader is unable to view a feed of my posts, you can only view the “About” page. This issue occurs with many themes so it is not just the theme I am using.

    When I make a feed of my latest posts the frontpage, , the tab for “About” page appears at the top but this disappears when the “About” page is the home page,

    Thanks to anyone that can help and apologies for not being able to word this in a more effective way.

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

    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 come to read your latest post, and who are not likely to be happy with being compelled to click through the same static page with the same blah, blah, blah on it every time they visit the blog looking for the latest post.

    However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, and know that static front pages are traffic killers, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts. 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 and click “save changes”.
