Your blog page (home page)
In the beginning was the blog, composed of posts.
The blog page, or home page, shows your most-recent posts in classic backwards order, last-first. Your readers see this page first when they navigate to your blog at its root address.
Many new bloggers want, or think they want, a static home page with a link to their blog page, and there are a fair number of tricks and hacks to achieve something like that.
However, Blogger is not set up to provide a static home page, and it is worth understanding the editorial rationale for starting with your most recent blog post.
Simply put, readers have short attention spans and it is usually better to immerse them in your freshest work right away rather than make them read some introduction. Returning readers in particular will not like have to scroll or click past the same old thing every time they visit your site.
