Hello all, after trying to figure out how to achieve this on my own site for a few hours I figured it out.
You need to edit style.css and replace
.home .hentry, .archive .hentry {
float: left;
width: 23.40425531914894%;
height: 150px;
margin: 0 2.127659574468085% 20px 0;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
with
.home .hentry {
float: left;
width: 100%;
margin: 0 0 20px 0;
font-size: 1em;
}
.archive .hentry {
float: left;
width: 23.40425531914894%;
height: 150px;
margin: 0 2.127659574468085% 20px 0;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
And then in the wordpress reading settings page change the frontpage to be the static page you want.
