  Is there any way to make it so that the oldest post is listed first, or will the newest post always been the first one seen?

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

  Blogs are essentially chronolgical publishing tools. No there is not a way to easily reverse the reverse chrolonologial ordering, unless you choose to keep changing datestamps and creating broken 404 (page not found) links. You can stick a post to the front page of your blog. You can also consider developing a book-like structure.

  Your newest post will be first, followed in reverse chronological order by older posts.

  You can choose 1 or 2 posts to be sticky posts which will remain on top of all your posts, but if you use too many sticky posts, your blog will become messed up or broken:

  You can make a page or use a text widget with an index of your posts using archives shortcode: http://en.support.wordpress.com/archives-shortcode/

  order Sort order asc, desc desc

  and choose asc to have oldest posts listed first in your index.

  @Tess
  Does this mean my comments are not visible?

  Looks like you were both typing at the same time, before either saw the other’s reply.
