Static, fixed Home Page

Fixed Static Homepage
I would like to have a fixed, static, home page for my blog:
In other words, I want to have the viewer always see a <yet to be created> “Welcome” page, as opposed to seeing the most recent blog.
Is there any way to do this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Yes. Pages are static and are for content that rarely changes. They sit outside of the blog structure and you cannot post to multiple pages in any blog. There is only one main page for posts in a blog and all posts will display on the main blog page. There is no way to exclude posts from the main posts (blog) page.
The front page of the blog by default will display your posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. If you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts.
Choice 1 static front page
Choice 2 running page for all posts on front pageWhich do you choose? It’s one or the other.
If you choose Choice 1 static front page then you have to create two pages as I said above. After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
Also note that retruning visitors come to read your latest content. Choosing to compel returning visitors to your blog to click through the same “About” page every time they visit may not be a good plan.
