Minimum Theme – How To Get Home Page Showing As Demo Shows

[Education Lady]

Hi Experts, I am hoping for a quick, awesome answer from someone in the know here (instead of bothering support on this). As I'm sure it's newbie user error.

I have read tutorial. I have done everything.

I am stumped at how to SHOW my HOME page as the DEMO show the home page - with orange social media buttons and the large photo image.

Do I create this page and call it home - what page is it/template? and then do I need to create a BLOG page for all my posts to show on?

Any help and details directions will help. (as mentioned... bit of a newbie here)

And loving my theme.

Jill

(PS I actually wrote code today for a READ MORE button)

- Oh and one more thing, In WIDGETS I can NOT find a WELCOME MESSAGE. This was posted on last forum - like Brian has on under his image, right column. Thoughts anyone?

Thanks again.

Jill,

Feel free to contact us in support for setup help to ensure a quick response.

The first step is to make sure your latest posts are set to show on the home page. Then you can follow the setup tutorials. If you look in my.studiopress.com next to the download link you should see "how to" as a link to the setup tutorials.

To get your "blog" page, make a page and name it blog or whatever you like. Select the "Blog" template for that page and publish. The blog posts will automatically be added to that page.
