Delete the title on my home page
-
I don’t want “downtheandes.com” (or any title, for that matter) printed at the top of my home page. How do I cut that out?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
After looking into your account, I found that you set the title of that page to downtheandes.com , which is why it is appearing there. You can edit that out by editing that page. Here’s the direct link:
https://downtheandes.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=1&action=edit
Remove the title and Update the page – then you should be set!
Let me know if you have any questions with this!

Thanks! Now, how do I 1) take out the blank space where the title was, and 2) leave a title for the page in the pages menu (so it’s not just listed as “#1 (no title)”?
While I’m writing, I’m having trouble categorizing my pages so my pages menu has some order. I made categories and put the pages within their respective categories, but the look of my pages menu hasn’t changed. Ideas?
Thanks again!

Another question: I just wrote my first post. But then nothing about it shows up in the pages menu; I have to search for “post” to find it. How do I make my posts clickable?
-
And another: I’d like the image of my book to be in one column and the text and contact form to be in another on my homepage, downtheandes.com. I tried editing the html, changing the message box’s size from “text area” to “email;” this made the box small enough to have two completely separate columns, but then the box was just too small. Is there a setting to make the message box’s width the same as name and email, but then, say, three rows tall? I think that’d fit everything nicely.
-
OK, last question and I’ll quit: I guess I want RSS enabled, but don’t even know where to start with such a thing. Or is it already enabled? I don’t need it for iTunes, as I’m not doing a podcast. I just want it telling people following my website when I’ve updated any of its content. Thanks!

Hi there,
In order to remove the #1 (no title) you will need to edit CSS. Please go to Appearance > Customize > CSS and add this:
li.page_item.page-item-1 { display: none; }How do I make my posts clickable?
As for your posts not showing up – it’s because you did not set a Posts page. You only set a Front static page as seen here:
Please go to Pages > Add new and publish an empty page titled whatever you want. A lot of users use Posts or Blog. Then, go to Settings > Reading and set your Posts page to that newly created page. That will be where all your Posts show up.

You can do this with HTML. Go to that page and switch to the Text Editor. Then try pasting in this:
<table style="border: 0 none;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="border: 0 none; width:200px"><a href="https://downtheandes.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/front-cover.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-205" src="http://downtheandes.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/front-cover.jpg?w=197" alt="Front cover" width="197" height="300" /></a> Books <a title="Link to book" href="http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Down-Andes-Ben-Ballweg/dp/1497456479/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406123168&sr=8-1&keywords=ben+ballweg" target="_blank">here</a>, $10 paperback, $5 ebook. Or, contact me and I'll provide free delivery anywhere in Dane County, WI!</td> <td style="border: 0 none;vertical-align:top" >[contact-form][contact-field label='Name' type='name' required='1'/][contact-field label='Email' type='email' required='1'/][contact-field label='Message' type='textarea' required='1'/][/contact-form]</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>I guess I want RSS enabled, but don’t even know where to start with such a thing. Or is it already enabled? I don’t need it for iTunes, as I’m not doing a podcast. I just want it telling people following my website when I’ve updated any of its content.
Your feed can be found at:

This is really helping, btw. (You may notice my site morphing more than it has since its rough draft.)
OK, I think I have a page widget. I just put some hierarchy on my pages. Is there a way to get the children pages to show only when someone’s pointer is over its parent?
Also, I’m not sure I yet get the RSS thing. When I attempt to go to http://downtheandes.com/feed (using Safari), I get an “Add RSS Feeds” box with two options : 1) Browse feeds in Safari bookmarks, and 2) Specify the URL for a feed (with a box underneath initially specifying feed://downtheandes.com/feed). Below all that is a “Show in inbox” checkbox, a Cancel button, and an Add button. What am I supposed to do with that?
Really, thanks. :) My apologies if I’m coming off as frustrated.

Instead of a page widget, have you looked into creating a Custom Menu instead? That would be cleaner and would only show the subpages when hovering overing the Parent Menu tabs.
As for feeds, I’m not understanding what you want to do with it. If you’re using feed readers like Feedly you just have to enter the link to the feed. If you just want people following your website when you make a new post, just add a Follow Blog widget.
Cheers!

Thanks! I’ll check out the “editing CSS” and “custom menus” pages and see what I can do before bugging you again.
For the RSS thing, I think I should try following some blogs, then I can better understand what I want to provide to my viewers. :)

Or, stick in a Follow Blog widget :) (I hope I’ve not Consistently been reading too fast.)
