Making static homepage with recent posts

  • I have been driving myself crazy trying to figure this out, and I’m sure I’m overthinking it, but I cant figure out how to make a static page and add a few recent posts to it.

    I am having problems with SEO how my blog is made at the minute, as there is no ‘homepage’ that comes up in Google, only my /tags/ and /archives/ pages come up, so I was thinking of creating a static page via Dashboard, and mimicking the Twenty Fourteen theme with a carousel of recent posts, and a seperate page called Blog which would show all of the recent posts the usual way.

    I want to create this homepage, for 2 reasons. Firstly I want to add a carousel and secondly as I cant figure out how to make the current homepage more SEO friendly.

    I have had a look into page templates, as I could simply copy the code that does the work of displaying the recent posts, but I cant find what file it is in.

    Thanks for any advice
