  My website http://www.viewthebigpicture.com is displaying very old posts from 2010 instead of the most recent.

  First it was opening this http://viewthebigpicture.wordpress.com/2010/07/08/150/
  so i deleted the post
  Now it rerouts to this post http://viewthebigpicture.wordpress.com/2011/01/11/12-west-main-special-event-center/
  anpther from 2010

  only if you write out http://viewthebigpicture.wordpress.com/ will it go to the most recent post

  Why is this? Ive never had this before, but now is not the time….

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

  Blogs are essentially a reverse chronological order publishing tool and you cannot change this order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. Hence, our blogs display posts in reverse chronological order, with the most recent post on top, unless there is a timezone issue or a sticky posts issue.

  The default timezone is UTC time. You can reset your timezone here > Settings > General Select the closest city to you in the same timezone in the drop-down menu you see there and then click “save changes”.

  If that does not rectify the post order then how many sticky posts have you created? http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts

  if you go to viewthebigpicture.wordpress.com it is in the right order, so I dont think that is the problem.

  my time zone is correct.

  I do not see any sticky notes

  Hi there – Your domain viewthebigpicture.com is not mapped to your WordPress.com site. You are likely using some sort of forwarding on your domain registrar’s end and the domain is forwarding to a specific post for some reason.

  We don’t recommend forwarding in this way. Instead, I recommend you map the domain to your blog directly by pointing its name servers here to WordPress.com, as described here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/#instructions-for-mapping-an-existing-domain

  Here are instructions for how to do this on eNom’s end:

  Let me know if you have further questions about this!
