Its a great idea and I never thought of actually using a Page to create my front page. The problem is just that all the side bars and basic template is still there. Is there a way to have a front page without all the sidebar and navigation? - Belinda

The dashboard has changed a little since this post, but the idea is the same.

In my opinion, this is a must. Nothing is uglier than having a front page with a wall of posts.

Eoin, one other thing that I learned was to make sure to leave the page named “blog” blank and not include any content there.

I also like to make the permalinks a .html makes the post look like they are more permanent. It does change the htaccess file but this is all done by wordpress. Another great reason to switch over.

One other cool tricks I just learned from brian yerkes in his “Here is a top 10… WordPress CMS Plugins” was to use google sitemape generator.

thx for the tips. Mike
