Set up a homepage

- [Instructor] We've looked at a number … of these customization settings so far. … But in this lesson, … I want to talk about the homepage settings. … In WordPress, the default homepage displays blog posts … in reverse chronological order. … That's kind of a classic blog look. … As we've been building out this site for this course, … you may have noticed that the homepage … just displays a list of blog posts. … While that's fine for some sites, … that's not what we want for a small business site. … We want to create a custom page … and then use that as our homepage. … So the first step for us … is to go and actually create a page. … I'll exit the customizer, … click New, Page, and I'll just give it a title of Homepage … and right now just a little placeholder text. … Later on, we'll go in and spruce this up. … Once that's published, … we can go back to the customizer, … click the homepage settings. … This time we'll select a static page … and we'll choose that homepage that we just created. …
