    Hi guys–
    When I’ referred someone directly to a post on my blog, they couldn’t navigate to a home page to view it and other posts, etc. I checked and of course they were right. I couldn’t either. How can I place a back-link to Home on my post pages? Thanks for help.

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

    Hi there,
    It sounds like you need to “undo” what you did.

    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 first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

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

    Set the Homepage

    No, I’m happy with the order of the post displayed on my home page (last first). On my Front Page sites (not WordPress) if you go to page A or Z, when you are finished you will find a “HOME” designation ( a link) on that page (A or Z) to click, to easily navigate and return to the home page. I’m wondering if a HOME link can appear on my post pages in the same way there is a link to ABOUT/BIO on each post page?
    Also, I’m referring to my America, America blog–not the Three At The Center…. blog which keeps coming up as a default.
    Thanks.

    The URL of your blog ie. the blog’s web address is the Home page link unless you change that as I posted above. The link appears in the horizontal menu bar and does not appear on each page or post in the blog as that would be redundant. If you want one there then you have to create one at the bottom of each page and post.

    Also note that any visitor who clicks the blog title ie. the site title is immediately returned to the Home page which is the blog’s web address.
