WordPress was originally created and used as a Blog publishing program. Only within the past few years has it emerged to use as a general Web site with or without a blog (or post) page. One of the minor challenges is converting your landing page to a ‘static’ (or fixed) page. A static landing page is in my estimation better for search engine optimization for the self employed small business owners I deal with. Frankly, they are not interested in becoming professional bloggers.
