Quick Question! Wordpress is doing my head in!!!

Quick Question:

I have a site with 4 pages across the top (Home, About, Contact Us, privacy Policy) and I want to add an article to the homepage, so that when the user goes to my domain OR clicks 'Home' on the header, it will take them back to that page ..

I know that you can go to settings, reading and have a PAGE as the front page, but if I post my article as a PAGE, it shows up on the header next to Privacy Policy

I just want another post, which is on the homepage and is on the front page of the site .. i know that to SEO my other pages i will need to do http://www.mydomain.com/long-tail-keyword , but for this article, I want it to show up when I SEO http://www.mydoimain.com/

Any ideas?

I think this solution will work:

Create a post page with your content on it, then go to "Reading" under "Settings" in the Admin CP and set the homepage to display that post.

Is that what you are asking?

When I go to reading, I can only make a PAGE the homepage, not a POST. ... If I create a PAGE, it shows up on the header menu, when I don't want it to

Make the page hidden

Is that the same as private? Im dumb .. I know!

EDIT - I have made it private, as a page, but when I go to reading settings to make it a static page on the homepage .. it isn't coming up!

Yes thats what I meant, try to make it private

You should be able to just make a custom menu.

Appearances > Menus

Try Main Menu as the title and put in the pages you want there.

I don't know if your theme supports that feature but if not just hard code it into the nav bar under theme options.

Cheers man!

Theme doesn't support editing the menu's, and I will end up messing up the whole site if i try anything to do with coding! I will just have to have it as another page

Thanks for the suggestions

Done it!

I just made the page public, but put 'About' as it's parent page, so it doesn't show on the header!! Then i changed the homepage to show it

Does anybody know if this will have any effect on SEO? If i have 'About' as the pages parent?

Other option is an exclude pages plugin. Or do it manually.

17 and 38 are the page ids as an example.
