I give up. I've been searching for quite a while to find out how to make a static page show up as the site's front page. I've found numerous references to people having one problem or another with the "feature" but nowhere do I see anything about how to enable the feature. The release notes of 1.3.6 say this is now possible -- how? I've looked at the admin section of staticpages, and see nothing relevent. I read about a "frontpage block" so I looked at the blocks section. Nada. I give up. How do you do this???

From the release notes for 1.3.6:

So, follow these steps:

Create your staticpage with the name "Frontpage"

Select the labe "nonews" if you want the staticpage to appear without any other news.

Select which blocks -- left, both

The page should display as the front page.

For an explanation of how to have a staticpage ONLY for anonymous users, see this story.

yeah, about 15 minutes after I posted the question I found the answer. Thank you! It's a little obscure, but it certainly works. [If only I could do a search for two or three words that don't get treated as one string, it would be much easier to find old posts]
