How to stop displaying posts Home Page

Please guide me how to stop displaying posts on my static HOME page. I tried installing WP Hide POst plugin, but is giving the following error, Warning: Parameter 2 to wp_hide_post_Public::query_posts_join() expected to be a reference, value given in /home3/uutc1537/public_html/petfriendlyplots.com/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 286 Thanks in advance. Great site. I am new at this and thoroughly enjoying working with your theme.
