Home Page displays your latest posts. This is default WordPress setting.

If you don't want to use latest posts for your home page you can navigate to the Settings > Reading and instead of the default "Front Page - Your latest posts" choose "A static page" and choose appropriate pages for the home and blog page.

 

6.1 Intro about post and "Post Formats"

Using Post Formats feature we styled each post format differently and added different content as well.

First navigate to Post and create new post.

If featured image is uploaded it will be shown on the top of the content above the title.

"Post Formats" are available for each post.

What is sticky post and how to choose it?

You can choose any post you want for your sticky post.

6.6 Right Sidebar

To fill it with the content navigate to Appearance > Widgets > Right Sidebar and add your content inside it. Special Jetpack feature "Jetpack Widget Visibility" allows you to have different sidebar content on different pages using the same sidebar. That means you are able to have one content inside the right sidebar on the news page and other content inside the right sidebar on the for example "Contact Page". This gives you a great amount of creative freedom! Read more about it here:http://jetpack.me/support/widget-visibility/
