Static page, static post or welcome message in wordpress

I want that home page of my blog shows to my visitors services and products which I do provide and offer.

This may be done by Home static page, static (stick) post or simply by welcome message in sidebar. So here is step by step way to do so - quickly and easily.

Static page

1. Write page Home with content you want your visitors see when they visit you home page.
2. Write page Blog for posting your articles
3. Go to Settings/Reading and change Front page display from latest post (default) to static page and chose front page Home, Posts page Blog. Save Changes.
4. Now as you refresh you will see 2 home links on your page.
5. Will proceed to erase previous home link by: Always save one copy before changes. Go to Theme editor/Header look for <a href…>Home</a> and erase. Update.
6. Refresh page and you got what you want. One Home static page and one blog page.

So that’s one way to do.

Static post

Download and activate plugin WP-sticky from Lester Chan. Follow instruction.

Small presentation on top of your sidebar

You make it happen by going to Widgets/Text/Add/Open. Go to Write new post/ write what you want that your visitors see add images and or video/edit HTML/copy all - go to text in widgets paste. Save changes.

Small things that count:

You can edit size and color of text.

Perhaps you can add your signature.

I am of opinion that one god image is worth of thousand words.

As well as I do sometimes stumble upon the wp page in German, Italian or Spanish without integrated translator. So I did include this option on my page.
