 * Thanks for using Tracks!
 * Right now, your homepage is displaying a static page, but you can change it to
   display your blog instead from the Settings > Reading menu.
 * For the guestbook, I see a plugin is causing a few errors on your post page. 
   I would suggest contacting the plugin author and sharing the errors so they can
   debug it.

 * Okay I see, the site you linked to only has one post which is why it’s displayed
   that way.
 * You could recreate this by putting a post in it’s own “homepage” category, and
   then only displaying posts in the homepage category on the front page of your
   site.
 * To do this, first download an [empty Tracks child theme](http://www.competethemes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/tracks-child.zip).
   Then, create a new file called `functions.php` and paste in the following code:
 *     ```
       <?php
       function my_change_home_page_category( $query ) {
   
          if( $query->is_main_query() && is_home() ){
              $query->set('cat', 2); 
   
          }
       }
       add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_change_home_page_category', 1 );
       ```
   
 * The only thing you need to change in the above code is the “2”. This should be
   the ID of the “homepage” category you create. To find the category’s id, go to
   the edit category page and you’ll see the id in the URL.
 * Once the child theme is activated on your site it should take affect.
