Start Backlight website from Wordpress blog home page

I am thinking of getting the Wordpress plug-in module for Backlight.  I already have a website and Backlight gallery installed and it works as advertised.  With my current set up I can edit the Pages properties so that any page I choose is an index page and becomes the landing page when a browser reaches my site.  My question is:   with mysite/blog installed via Wordpress, can I make the Wordpress Home Page (for example) show up as the landing page?   Can this be configured from the Backlight  Pages list?

Thanks for any help or clarification.

Re: Start Backlight website from Wordpress blog home page

With your setup, the only way I can think of to make your WordPress front page become your "landing" page is through a redirect at the server.
There's no feature in Backlight to make a WordPress page the index page,

The other option is to use WordPress as the main basis of your site and use Backlight just for albums and album sets (not using the Pages module)

Thanks, Rod.  I think I will go with the second option you suggested.  Again, thanks!

This documentation post gets into the setup:

The bottom most example is the one that applies in your case.
