Wordpress Site Title Issues

Trouble with your home page title displaying differently then the title on your other pages?

On the home page, the title is inside of <h1> tags, changing the style from the default for any other pages. The fix is to set the same style for the title by itself and for the title inside of <h1> tags.

The way this works is you use "#site-title h1, #site-title" as the selector in the style sheet. Then specify the margins, font-size and the font-weight.

Any further styling is a matter of preference.

Setting a Homepage in Wordpress

Wordpress was originally created to allow people to create their own blogs. Over time Wordpress has added more and more general web design capabilities, making it a great Content Management System (CMS).

As blogging was the original focus, the default "home page" or landing page of your Wordpress website is the "blog page". If you do not want the blog to be the landing page/home page, you can change the setting in the Wordpress Admin panel.

Go to "Settings" towards the bottom of the left side menu:

Select "Reading"

Change "Your latest posts" to "A static page"

Next to "Front page", select your "Home page"

Make sure to save your changes!
