  i see these instructions below, but I don’t know how to actually change the url on my blog

  Show your Posts in Chronological Order

  You also have the ability to order your posts chronologically. To do this, you will need to add a string to your URLs that will arrange your posts from Oldest to Newest. Follow these steps to change your blog page to show in chronological order:

  Find the URL of the posts you wish to display chronologically. You can choose your whole blog feed, a specific category, or even a tag.
  Your URL should look something like this:
  http://dailypost.wordpress.com/
  Choose a start date! You can pick which date you want to be the starting point for your posts.
  Let’s say we pick January 1, 2014.
  Add that date to your URL:
  http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/01/
  That should give us all the posts from January, starting with the newest.
  Reverse the order by adding ?order=asc to the end of the URL: http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/01/?order=asc
  Now you should see all the posts from January, starting with the oldest!
  You can also show all your posts for the year like this:
  http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/?order=asc
  You can show your posts for a specific Category like this:
  http://dailypost.wordpress.com/category/topic-ideas/?order=asc
  Or you can even show your posts for a specific Tag like this:
  http://dailypost.wordpress.com/tag/humor/?order=asc

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  You can add ?order=asc to your URL to view your posts in ascending order, like this: http://turnervilleroad.com/?order=asc

  However, there isn’t a way to change your URL so that visitors who go to http://turnervilleroad.com/ are directed to http://turnervilleroad.com/?order=asc instead.

  If you want visitors to read your posts in chronological order, I’d recommend setting up your site with a static front page: Front Page

  Then, you can set up a Custom Menu on the site, with a custom link to your blog page. You can add ?order=asc to the end of that custom link to make sure your posts are displayed in chronological order. For example, if your blog page is located at http://turnervilleroad.com/blog/ you can use the custom link http://turnervilleroad.com/blog/?order=asc to link to your blog.

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
