  Hi there. I was hoping if someone could help me with my problem.

  I am trying to get my home.php to show like a “featured entry” of my blog and have a separate page show the content to my entire blog. Is this possible? Also, I have no idea how to access my .php files for the Tarski template. Could someone please tell me where to find it? I have been working on this for several hours and I can’t seem to find the answer to my problem. Any help would be most appreciated.

  Thanks in advance for your time.

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

  Hi. If you are handling PHP files, it means you have a self-hosted WordPress blog and are in the wrong forum. Please ask your question at http://wordpress.org/support

  You are currently in a forum for blogs hosted by WordPress.com and our answers will not apply to your situation. Thanks and I hope you find a solution to your problem soon.

  P.S. If you do have a blog hosted by WordPress.com, we need the URL, starting with http://

  Oh, so sorry! I was totally confused. My blog is hosted by WordPress.com and the link to it is http://digitalremixrevolution.wordpress.com/

  Thanks so much for the clarification!

  Thank you. As I said earlier, PHP files are a feature of self-hosted WordPress blogs only. At WordPress.com, we cannot handle them. Unfortunately, documents on the Internet about “WordPress” at large don’t always make the distinction between WordPress.com and the self-hosted version (also known as WordPress.org):
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  This being said, if you want to display something in particular on your front page, but have your blog posts on another section, you may be interested in setting up a static front page. More info here:

  Okay, I will try that! Also, I noticed on your site that you were able to make an entry cut so that only part of your entry shows and then there’s a “read more” link for readers to read the rest of the entry. I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind explaining how you did that.

  It’s done via the “more” tag. See here please:

  If you have any further questions, I suggest you create a new topic. That way, it will be easier for other users to find the answers to their questions by browsing through previous topics.
