  My blog is displayed from newest to oldest…yet as I’m posting a story I wrote years ago (and doing it in segments) I’d rather it display from the OLDEST at the top, so someone just finding it would be able to read it in that order. How do I do this?

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

  You cannot reverse the order of post display by clicking a link. 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.
