  You don’t have any pages on your blog. In order to set a static page, first you have to create a page.

  You have three POSTS on your front page. Looking at them, it appears you intended for them to be PAGES. Please review this FAQ http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/11/11/a-post-and-a-page/ which explains the difference.

  Also – review this FAQ on static front pages http://faq.wordpress.com/2007/02/20/having-a-static-page-at-the-front-of-the-blog/

  Have you created a suitable page first? Doesn’t seem so.

  Thanks to both of you!! I’d read the FAQs that Vivian suggested, but until I saw your posts I didn’t recognize the difference between pages and post. You’ve set me on the right path. Thank you again!
