Show A Label Feed On Your Home Page

Not every blog owner wants to display current posts on their blog Home page.
How do I display just a Welcome message, on my Home page?
Some owners are satisfied with displaying a fixed welcome message - and let the readers click on links in the menu bar, or a menu gadget in the sidebar, to see the posts.


Not all blog owners will be satisfied with a static display, any more than they want to display all current posts.
How do I display a filtered Home page?
The answer to that question isn't immediately obvious - but it does exist.

If you can setup a Text gadget, and make a completely static Home page, you can, just as easily, display a Feed gadget. Then, setup a label for the posts that you want to display on the Home page, and display the label feed, in the feed gadget.

A feed gadget, that conditionally appears only for the Home page URL. A label feed, for the Home page posts. A main page set to show 0 posts.

And there, you have a dynamic, yet filtered, Home page.
