    Use YouTube search or scroll through McBuzzvideo channel WordPress tutorial videos to find “Make Static Page Front/Home Page - Part 3″ or “Make Static Page Front/Home Page - Part 2″. One of these should do the trick. Thanks for your question!

    thanks very much!

    Thanks, Meredith. I don’t know much about anonymous comments. You could try contacting YouTube about that.
