I want to use a static page rather than a blog post as my wordpress homepage. Is this done by editing the Main Index Template.
Here's what mine looks like:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<div class="data"><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></div>
<h3 class="title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a></h3>
<div class="author">Posted
in <?php the_category(', ') ?> by
<?php the_author() ?> <?php edit_post_link('Edit',' | ',''); ?>
</div>
<?php the_content('More'); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
<div class="feedback">
<?php comments_popup_link(__('comments'), __('1 comments'), __('% comments'), '', __('comments off')); ?>
<span class="link-category">See also in
<?php the_category(', ') ?>
</span> </div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<div class="page-navigation">
<div class="alignleft">
<?php next_posts_link('Previous articles') ?>
</div>
<div class="alignright">
<?php previous_posts_link('Next articles') ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php else : ?>
<h2>Not found!</h2>
<p><span class="highlight">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't
here!</span></p>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/searchform.php"); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
EDIT, I have fixed this using a plugin but i couldnt delete my post. Sorry.
