  Good afternoon/evening/morning, depending on what corner of the world you’re at,

  This is a really basic question, and I apologize for posting it, but I do so solemnly swear that I looked for about fourty-five minutes for the answer to this question.

  I just recently started blogging here, and I was wondering how I make it so that my most recent post is at the top of my page when I or anyone else views my blog? At the moment, I have only two posts, and the older one is at the top; the obsessive-compulsive in me is cringing.

  Thanks in advance.

  Posts are ordered by date AND time, even when only the date is showing. When you edit your post, to the right, look for the little calendar under “Publish Status”. Click Edit to set the exact time such that one is older than the other. That should take care of it.

  By definition, the latest dated post shows at the top. Check the date on the two posts.

  If the blog is roboboogey.wordpress.com, then the two posts have the same date, thus my hunch of date+TIME.

  Hmmnm, ok I’ll try tinkering around with the dates and times. Again, I apologize for the elementary question.
