  Hey, I posted my first two posts on my new blog. My first one was archived to the month of March on the right hand side of my blog like it should have been, then when I posted my second one, it didn’t “update” the page with the new post, instead it added a “tab/link” on top of my blog near the “ABOUT” tab. I hope this is explanatory enough. On top of my blog post/page, I have a picture, at the bottom of that picture, but still “inside” the picture frame, it says “HOME”…then next to that “ABOUT”….then I have NO idea how I did it but it then placed a tab “Body Snatchers!” which is my newest post on my blog. I would like to move it to the archive area, but have no idea how to do so.

  Any idea what I did wrong and can I fix it? Thanks.

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

  Hi. That’s because you created a page instead of a post. More on the difference between the two here:

  To fix this, go to Pages > Pages > Body snatchers, copy the entire contents of your page. Then, go to Posts > Add new, and paste the contents. You can backdate that post if you wish, by selecting Publish > Edit.

  THANK YOU. I got it fixed, BUT how do I delete the “page” Body Snatchers!” from the front page. I can’t figure it out. I REALLY appreciate you giving me this information. Thanks.

  Sorry, I forgot that step. Pages > Pages. Hover over “Body snatchers” and click on Trash.
