  How can I make my front page look like a web page without the side bar or looking like a blog page.
  I’m reading and using word press for dummies.
  I’m new at this.
  Thank you,
  Bruce

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

  You might look at this article:

  The option you are hoping for is theme dependent.

  Also, please read your other thread where I replied about the differences between wp.COM and wp.ORG: your wordpress for dummies book may not be very clear about the differences: .com and .org are not the same so what you read there may not apply here.

  I use a static page and it works well for making a blog look like a website.
  It puts all your posts on another page. (I am a dummy too but it’s dead easy to do)

  @ pekepenguin

  Your static page still has a sidebar, and the OP was looking for a way to eliminate that sidebar on a static page:

  to have “a web page without the side bar or looking like a blog page”
