  WORDPRESS is frustrating to work with. My blog/website has four(4) pages. These pages need the order rearranged. Should be a simple thing to do how/why?? Also how do I publish my site?

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

  Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.

  Did you know that as soon as you publish a post not a page the error message will be gone? http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  Are you clear on the differences between posts and pages?
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors, who come to read your latest post, and who are not likely to be happy with being compelled to click through the same static page with the same blah, blah, blah on it every time they visit the blog looking for the latest post.

  However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts. To do that create two pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

  After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.

  re: Pages order

  There are two approaches.
  1. If you have only pages in your horizontal menu and that’ is all you want in it see here to use numerical order. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/#order

  2. Custom menu Troubleshooting – My pages are in the wrong order
  Check the sub-pages themselves to see if you have established a Parent page and child page “hierarchical structure” in the page attributes module. Remove if required.

  Also remove any “order” numbers you have assigned that may conflict with the order you are creating by dropping and dragging. Or simply change them so they are the same order as you establish in the menu. Establish consistency – problem solved.
