  Hi
  I’ve nothing to show for an example, but I’ve seen on other people’s WordPress site how they’ve got BLOG written on their menu and obviously under it they do they’re day to day thoughts.

  However when I put the word BLOG on my menu, all I achieve is to have the word written on the page I’ve created to get it up there.

  So how do I achieve having the word up on my menu as it is now without having to write it on a page which is how everything else has managed to get up on the menu. I’ve tried the primary navigation – keeping it at ‘Blog’ but it still does not appear on the menu…?

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

  You are referring to blogs whereon the blogger created a static front page. The front page of the blog by default will display your posts (not pages which do not automatically update) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top.

  If you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts.
  Choice 1 static front page
  Choice 2 running page for all posts on front page
  Which do you choose? It’s one or the other.
  If you choose a static front page then you have to create two pages as I said above. After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
