Changing title in Menu.
-
I started my blog from my iphone app.. now my blogs are under the title “Home” on my menu. I’ve added more pages with unique titles and I’d like to change the “Home” title. How can I do this? I can’t find anywhere to edit this. I can edit my new pages, but not the original Home one.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
There are many misunderstandings and misconceptions when it comes to custom menus. I suggest you read these two posts I link to below.

http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/custom-menus/You have created static pages that will never automatically update. Technically you can’t post to more than one page on any blog but do read on. Static Pages and dynamic Category Pages are not the same. The former cannot automatically update but the latter do.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/If you want to have pages that do update then they must be replaced by dynamic category pages (and sub-category pages) that will automatically update every time you publish a post assigned to the relevant category and/or sub-category.
By default the front page of the blog is the post that displays all posts in your blog. Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.
We organize posts by assigning categories to them. You can create a custom menu and add the dynamic categories and sub-categories pages into the custom menu, and order them as you wish.

Here’s a little more for you to digest too.
You have two choices on any blog.
(1) All posts on the front page.
(2) A static front page and posts on a different page.By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors.
However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts.
To do that create two pages first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
