  Hi there,
  The way to do this is to create a custom menu and then include a custom “home” link in it.

  Note: A custom menu allows you to display Categories with drop-downs to sub-categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation where normally only Pages tabs are displayed. If you wish you can also include Pages with drop-downs to sub-pages and/or custom links in your custom menu as well. You are in charge of what appears in a custom menu. You choose the order in which to display any and/or all the foregoing in your custom menu. You choose which to display and which to hide.

  thanks

  I can only use one custom menu though right? I’ve already taken that up with the ‘further links’ menu on my page. so is there no other way?

  I see 3 tabs to static pages in your top menu in the blog linked to your username: About, Gallery, Feedback. What I am suggesting is a means of including the Home link.

  I’ve already taken that up with the ‘further links’ menu on my page.

  I don’t see that on your blog.

  Staff have provided help for those who want to structure their blog like a website. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

  What’s critical is:
  (1) a clear comprehension of the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
  (2) a clear comprehension of the fact that there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. But we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.

  We organize our posts by assigning Categories to them. When we publish a post it automatically appears on the running page for posts and also on the Categories pages and Archives pages. Note: There must be one published post in each Category in order for there to be anything to display.

  “I can only use one custom menu though right?”

  You’re probably confusing menus with menu items. A top menu is the whole set of tabs in your header area; each tab is a menu item. “Supports one menu” means one set of tabs in the header, not one tab.
