Change order of posts
-
How can I reverse the order of my posts?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
There is no setting for that purpose. Blogs are essentially a reverse chronological order publishing tool wherein the most recent published post will display on top. You cannot change this order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. It’s designed to serve your visitors as they come to read the most recent posts and will not be inclined to trawl through hundreds of posts to locate it.
See here for the option of creating a book-like structure > http://en.support.wordpress.com/write-a-book/ Perhaps that will work for you.
Or you could use a single sticky post as an index page > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts
Or you can falsify every date-stamp before publishing.

If I have a post I want to keep at the top of a page, as new posts are added can I delete the one I want on top and readd it, will it them be “new” and at the top of page?
Or is there a way to have an introductory paragraph on a page that will stay at top? -
@myhouseinwoods please ignore the spammer (miraslow).
Absolutely do not delete posts and then “re-add” them. This will change their address/URL and cause havoc for both your readers and search engines.
Mark the post as “sticky” in the Publish module instead. If you are not sure how to do that, please read this support doc http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/

Not sure the sticky is the answer to my problem, don’t want it on the front page, top of the page it is on, the second page? After the home page?

Can you link to the exact post you are referring to so I can have a look?
If you need something, like a copyright notice, to appear on every single page of your site, then the better option would be to create it in a text widget in your sidebar.

No, it is just the description of what the page is about. I thought to put it on a text widget, but realized that would go on every page. If there a way to have an intro paragraph I would be so grateful for any help : )

It is currently the second paragraph, but as I add more it will go down the list. If I can’t pin it to the top, maybe if I could at least reverse order that post go on with oldest at the top? The it would stay second on the list as only one in before it….thx again -

It may take some experimenting, but it’s quite possible to set a widget to be visible on one page but not another. See widget visibility settings here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget-visibility
