  i would just like for the link line to read “News” instead of “Home”. Is this possible? and if so, how difficult is it to do.

  thanks a ton!

  We can’t see which theme you are using and help you. Could you please post the link to your wordpress.com blog?

  The bad news is that it’s not a wordpress.com free hosted blog and that’s what this forum is dedicated to. The good news is if you downloaded software from wordpress.org that the correct forum is here http://wordpress.org/support

  OOPS! Do you just mean that you want to change the word “Home” to the word News”?
  If so then ignore my last post.

  I had a similar question for the Contempt theme… Is the word “home” for its home page hard-coded, or can you change it?
