Kim I wrote too soon,(though I still think you’re a genius) The post # was associated with the home page I created, so when I made it private it hid the front page. I think I must have missed a step somewhere.

Here’s what I did:

I created and pubished 2 pages:

BLOG page

– left it blank

HOME page

– is also blank – (didn’t know what I’m supposed to put in it, and it seemed to work just fine without any content)

– set the template to default

In reading = Selected Home page as my static page, and blog page for posts

In menus – Added home page to menu

In options – disabled posts in front page

I think I’m supposed to have content in the home page??

Kim, you are a genius! Everything you’d told me has made it so easy to learn how to use the template and get the look I want! Thanks for the compliment and thanks so much for the help!

Thanks Kim – your advice made sense – I was trying to make it more complicated than it was. It’s all working, with my static page and my blog page. Only one glitch – on the new static home page, underneath the slider there is what looks like an empty post with the header “home” on it, and I don’t know how to get rid of it. http://www.ievolve.ca

I did a little more digging on support and found this post –

Feature Pages (not posts) in the Slider?

I did what it instructed and it was so quick and easy, now my pages can be assigned to categories!

Thank you so much for a great support site and a great theme!!!
