I'm new to WordPress and use BlueHost as my host. I think I created my home page for my website, but now I've figured out how to add blog posts to my webpage and I want that front page of my website to be a blog post. Can I convert my homepage to display posts, instead of the homepage I created?

Hi Bonnie,
Yes, you can convert your homepage from a static page to display blog posts, if you want. This video tutorial, part of the WordPress 101 course, will show you how to specify whether to use a static page or a blog as the homepage for your website:

If you're asking how to use a single blog post as your homepage, that's a different story. The short answer is no. You'd be better off opening the blog post in the Editor, copying all the content, then creating a new page and pasting that content into the page.
There is not a simple method for converting a post to a page, or vice versa. But it is relatively easy to simply copy all the content from a post, and then paste it into a page... or vice versa.
Once you've pasted the content into a page, you can specify that page to serve as the homepage for your site.
Hope this helps!
