I would like the Home page to be a page without "blog", but rather a set introductory passage. I can't seen to figure out how to make this happen. I have watched a tutorial, and even had a "Sample Page" in the Theme I downloaded that had the "static page" button available under Settings--Reading. But I don't know how to change the name of Sample Page, and when I tried to create a new page and make it static, that option wasn't available.
Where am I going wrong?
