Jessica – Configuring the Blog Page

Go to Pages

  • Add a new page into WordPress and label it Blog
  • Set the Template to Blog. Note: due to changes in Genesis 3.0, there is no longer a Blog template. As a result, there may not even be a “Template” drop-down in the “Page Attributes” section.  If there is a dropdown, leave it set to “Default.”

  • In the “Your Homepage Displays” section, choose “A Static Page.”
