Static Home Page
-
I’ve searched all over the internet to figure out how to set a static home page and every article/forum I’ve come across is very outdated. I can’t find anything that works.

https://d3andsugarfree.wordpress.com is no longer available.The authors have deleted this site.
What is the exact URL starting with http:// of your site please?
I’m asking because we cannot accurately answer any support questions posted here until we have confirmed the URL referred to and the hosting.

If and only if you ar referring to an active site hosted by wordpress.COM and not a wordpress.ORG software install read on.
By default, the URL of any site is the front page of the site like this * http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/ unless we change it.
re: creating a static front 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 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.There must be a page for all posts published in the blog to display on. 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 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 there
A static page (select below)
Front page:
Posts page:
Then click “save changes”.The guide is here http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/
