Having a welcome page does make your blog look more of a real website rather than just a simple blog. Just make sure that if you're going to design it, you're not going to stick to the most generic design. You have to make people become interested by making your design look awesome. Let's say you're going to promote businesses that resell SEO services. You have to show them that your site is following the standards, especially in a field like that which is focused on website development tactics that will bring you to the top of search results.

I am using the same theme and am hoping that you can help me, as I am new to blogging and WordPress and the like.
I am wanting to have my drop down menu, go up instead of down, do you know how to make it do that?

[...] How To Make WordPress Look Like a Website | The Expand2Web Blog So you’ve installed WordPress and plan to use it for your small business website. Now what? The first step to making your website look like a website for your business instead of a blog is to create a static front page and configure WordPress to use this as your home page. Normally, when someone visits your WordPress website they will see a list of your latest blog posts. If you are using this for your business website, that may not be what you want on your home page.

Hi Craig, You're welcome! You can turn off comments for any page or post while editing that page or post. The checkbox to turn off comments might be hidden however. I made a video about WordPress 3.3. and in that video I show you where to turn those back on again - here's a link to the video: What's New in WordPress 3.3. To answer your other question, you can move WordPress to a new folder without reinstalling it. Here's a video that walks you through how to do that: Hove to Move WordPress.

G’Day Don!
Thanks for your great blog and instructions for designing a basic website using WordPress. I have created a Start page as per your instructions but I can’t find anywhere where I can remove the comment box that appears at the bottom of the page. I am using Twenty Eleven Theme 1.3

Also I’d like to change the url of my website to be something like http://www.mydomain.net/offers but I am not sure if I can do this and/or if I need to delete WordPress and start over?

Cheers….Craig

Military Martha! I checked out your site and think it’s a great idea. I went to the site to reach out to you but there’s no way to contact you on the site anywhere.

Just thought you’d want to know.

Hey I just wanted to say thank you for your article. I always knew that i needed to start to learn how to use Word Press but it just scares me for some reason. I’m using your instruction to build a Military Wife Membership website that will help the wives of active Military servicemen while they are away.

I hope you will check it out.

Thanks again and keep the good information coming!
