  On my home page of my site, the information on one of the other pages on my website is appearing. Example when you click on my website: http://propboxplayers.wordpress.com/, you’ll see information from one of the other pages on the top, I cannot figure out how to remove this. I tried to see if I created another new page if it would do this and it did. So anytime I create a new page the information gets added to my home page, I’m not sure why it is doing this. Please help!

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

  It’s doing this because most themes have a top navigation menu that automatically displays links to your published pages.
  What help exactly do you need? You mean you want links to some instead of all of your pages? or no links at all? or in the sidebar instead of the top? or no link to a particular page till you’ve finished editing it?

  @justpi – Looks like something is fubar on her site. If you have a moment, could you look at her homepage?

  Ah yes Jen, thanks: I misunderstood the question!

  The blog front is displaying both pages because the same page has been set as a front page and as a posts page. You need to create a new Page in Pages > Add New, title it Posts or Blog or whatever you like, then go to Settings > Reading and set this new page as your posts page.

  Thanks for looking, P. Wow, I didn’t think that was possible!

  /runs off to test blog… and gets a big warning in the Dashboard that “Warning: these pages should not be the same!” and, yes, the front page is fubar.
