  We’d like to switch the position of posts. Is that possible, and how?

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

  Hi there,

  The main way to do this would be to change the post date. Changing the date of post will reorder your posts on your home page. This can be accomplished using the Quick Edit shown here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/#quick-edit

  Please note, doing this changes the post URL. So, for example, if you changed the post date from 6/1/14 to 7/1/14, the post URL would change accordingly:

  http://jeremeysexample.wordpress.com/2014/6/1/test-post

  to

  http://jeremeysexample.wordpress.com/2014/7/1/test-post

  The URL change would mean that previous links you sent out of the blog posts may not direct back correctly. Does that make sense?

  It makes sense, it’s simple, and it worked. Thanks a lot.
