Hi there,
You may have just been running afoul of some domain propagation. This is the process that every domain must go through when changes are made to where it points, etc. Some types of domains it only takes a few minutes, but others it can take several hours or even days.
I just checked your domain and it is now pointing correctly at our site and it’s coming up perfectly! If you can’t see it yet, you should be able to soon.
Let me know if you still can’t see it later on today or tomorrow morning!

Do you think you’d be able to help me with positioning my blogs. I want my blogs to go onto the front page of the website, as it has. However, i have different pages for different kinds of blogs, but i’m unaware of how to put a blog into a page? So, whenever i release a blog i want it to go on the front page, but i also want to categories them, i’m not sure how i put them into categories.
-
also could you please tell me how to change around the pages, as iv’e gone into themes and moved them to my specifications but its not changed on the site, please help?

Hi there,

You can add categories to each post, and then set up Category Pages to have posts in a particular category appear both on the front page and on their own category page.
also could you please tell me how to change around the pages, as iv’e gone into themes and moved them to my specifications but its not changed on the site, please help?
You’re almost there! I see the custom menu that you set up in your site’s dashboard, but it just isn’t assigned to a specific location in your theme yet.
You can do that by heading to Appearance > Menus in the dashboard. In the custom menu you set up, look at the “Menu Settings” section at the bottom and check the box next to “Navigation Menu.” That will assign your custom menu to your theme’s navigation menu area so you see it on the site.
Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that. :)

Hi there,
I just activated your custom menu for you. If you have any other questions about that or setting up category pages, please let me know exactly where you are getting stuck and I can give you hand with it. :)

Hi, thanks a lot, really appreciate that! now, finally. I have 4 blogs out and they are all on the homepage, which is what i want. However i want them on the homepage but also on certain pages on the website. For example, the latest blog i want that on the homepage, (which it already is, great) and on the TRANSFERS page. Please show me how to do this, or if you could do it?

Hi there,
You can have those blogs show up on a “Transfers” page by setting up that “Transfers” page as a category page. You can find step-by-step instructions for setting that up in our Category Pages guide.
If you’re having trouble with that process, please let me know what step you’re getting stuck on and I’d be happy to help show you how to do it!
-
Im still having trouble, do you think you’d be able to do it like you did the page arrangement.
Thanks, Charlie..

Hi Charlie,
Can you please let me know which step you’re having trouble with? I’d like to show how you it works so you know how to manage it and make changes in the future. :)
-
Hi, is it possible for you to do the changes? because iv’e done all the steps but its not worked so maybe something iv’e done messing around in attempt to do it..
-
Also, thanks for helping i really appreciate it. And how can i get more views on my blog or get it up on search engines?
-
Hi Charlie,
iv’e done all the steps but its not worked so maybe something iv’e done messing around in attempt to do it..
Let’s start from the beginning and I can help sort out what’s going wrong. :)
To start, you will need to add a category to each post you want to have on that other page. For example, you can add the category “Transfers” to each post.
Can you give that step a try and let me know how it goes?
And how can i get more views on my blog or get it up on search engines?
I recommend you take a look at our guide for Getting More Views and Traffic — that will help you get more views on the blog. :)

So you know where it says on ‘EDIT’ near the bottom right on one of my blog posts
Categories
All Categories Most Used
Uncategorized
+ Add New Categoryshould i put ‘add new category’ then call it TRANSFERS?
-
So all my current blog posts, i go onto each one and click edit then at the bottom it says ‘categories’ and i click on ‘add new category’ then call it transfers. Do i put it under ‘parent category’ or uncategorised
-
should i put ‘add new category’ then call it TRANSFERS?
Yes, that’s right. You can name the category anything you’d like — TRANSFERS will work just fine. :)
Do i put it under ‘parent category’ or uncategorised
You can leave it as “Parent Category.” That will make it its own category, so it isn’t related to any other categories on your site. We have more about that here:

ok ive done that for just one of the posts, now what do i do to make that blog post go onto the transfers page aswell as staying on homepage? Thank you again :D
