  Dear WordPress,

  My HomePage, mermaidscientist.com is the page that shows all the posts in order of posting. I would like to change the “landing page ” to a different Page on my menu which is static and describes my book project only.
  It seems like there should be an easy way to select which Page on the site is the Home page.

  Please advise,

  Claudia Makeyev

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

  Thank you for your help.
  I was able to set a static page (The Mermaid Alphabet) as the home page.
  Unfortunately, my original “Home” Page with all the blog posts has now disappeared.
  It is not an option in the Settings-> Reading.
  It is visible on the actual blog site but only as an unclickable tab that seems to route it back to the new static page.
  How do I make it clickable/active again if it is not on the drop down menu?

  Hi there – you needed to add it to your Custom Menu here:

  I went ahead and added it for you. :) You can read more about custom menus here:
