  Hi, one of my blogs are having trouble with the homepage. Every time I’m on that front page of the site or other pages of that site and when I want to go back to the homepage. It will redirect me to another site other than the homepage that I want to be on. Please help! Thank You!

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

  If you are referring to http://pinklemonadepastries.wordpress.com/ These are NOT dynamic category pages. They are static pages that will not automatically update.

  (1) There is only one page we can post to in any blog and
  (2) The static pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ we bloggers create do not automatically update.

  Only the dynamic pages like Archives, Categories and Tags created by the software when we publish a post will update automatically update with new posts.

  By default the front page of the blog is the Page that displays all posts in your blog. You can create a static front page but doing that does not change what follows.

  Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.

  We organize posts by assigning categories to them. You can create a custom menu and add the dynamic categories pages into the custom menu.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-category-pages
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus

  We can also add other items into a custom menu like static Pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-pages but as I said above no static Pages will ever automatically update.

  There are many common errors, misunderstandings and misconceptions when creating custom menus and there are some tweaks you can use to improve your custom menu as well.

  Ignore all the above, and go to Appearance > Menus: delete the home item you have added to your custom menu, click View All in the Pages module, select the Home item you’ll see (topmost item), click Add to Menu, drag to move to top position, save.
