How to set a static page as your site’s front page

Posted by faq on 29th April 2008

The Static FrontPage option allows a user to set a specific Page to be the Home Page. So rather than visiting your site and seeing a list of latest episodes(posts), the visitor can be presented with for example a nice introductory main page as to what your site or podcast is all about.

  1. From the menu, navigate to Settings-> Display
