Often I’m asked about this whole “wordpress static page thing” and how its used and created. There really are a couple main reasons why most people will want or need a wordpress static page, the first being the need to create a static front page to a blog or site.
What is a wordpress static page?
A static page is really just a page that sits outside of your main blog “root” directory. For instance if your blog is at: http://blainesblog.com/blog/ that would be the root of your blog, a static wordpress page could sit at http://blainesblog.com which is outside of your blog install.
The great thing about using this is you can create a landing page where users will visit and then have a “call to action” which tells the user what they should do right away.
