  1. Thats not really an ideal way to do it (and will bring all kinds of problems), what your real aim is, is to make wordpress into a CMS this way you can manage it as website from the wp-admin panel, add new pages etc, etc, the link i have added is just to give you an idea of whats involved, there are other WordPress to CMS tutorials out there that will also help you.

  2. You don’t need to do any of what you’ve done in order to use WordPress to manage static content. All you need to do:

    1. Choose whatever Theme you want to use
    2. Create your content as static Pages; don’t bother with Posts
    3. Go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Reading, set the Front Page to display a static Page, and select whichever static Page you want to use as the Front Page

    Now, your WordPress installation is set to display only static Pages, with no Blog Posts.
