WordPress Tutorial – How to Make a Static Page Your Home Page & Hide Double Home Page Link

NOTE: More tutorials at mcbuzz.wordpress.com This beginner-level WordPress Tutorial by Mark McLaren of McBuzz Communications shows how to make a “static” WordPress page your Home page (also called a “front page”), and how to hide the second Home page link that sometimes appears in your site navigation when you make that static page a Home page. By default, a WordPress website displays the blog page on the home front page. For example, when you go to the Business Blogging 101 website at mcbuzz.wordpress.com you see blog posts with the most recent post at the top of the page and earlier posts below that. WordPress allows you to select a different page as your home page, so that you can display more traditional content like information about yourself or your business. You can also create another page to use as your blog page, with a link to that page in your site navigation. Watch this tutorial to see how to do this. One problem you may run into when you make a static page your home page is that the link to that page now appears in the main site navigation, so that you have two links to the same page – usually the page called “Home”. The second part of this tutorial shows how to remove one of those links from your site navigation so that visitors to your site are not confused by the duplicate link.

Lt. Gov. Todd Lamb Visits the iThemes Offices

This morning, we were delighted to host a very special guest — Oklahoma’s Lieutenant Governor Todd Lamb.

Lt. Gov. Lamb stopped by to talk with us about our 3-plus year-old, Oklahoma City-based company, learn about what we do, how we are adding jobs and revenue in our state and to meet our team. In his role as lieutenant governor, he was charged by the Governor to be the “small business advocate” and we are proud to get this official visit from him.

It is no secret that we are extremely proud to be an Oklahoma-based tech company. I started this business in my home-office in January 2008 and today we’ve grown to 22+ team members (most of whom are based in Oklahoma), 4 brands, 130+ themes, 20+ plugins, and more than 250+ hours of professional web design training.

As a native Oklahoman, I believe this state has many benefits to starting a business, and we are excited to work with Lt. Gov. Lamb to help give back to our community and state and enhance its reputation as a great place to live and work. (In fact, we want to see Oklahoma become a tech startup hub in OKC. Check out a lightning talk called Silicon Pasture I did at SXSW this year.)

Anyway, below is a photo of me talking about some new projects we’re working on at iThemes with Lt. Gov. Todd Lamb.
