  How do I create a page that will link back to the homepage? I would like a home page button that will link back to
  http://gardensbyted.wordpress.com so when people are within the site they can easily navigate their way back. can I create a link within the masthead also?

  I am having trouble also having the home link appear first on the list of pages? I have tried ordering it as number 1 but no change.

  please help.. thanks

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

  Create a link to your home page from a text widget and put it at the top of your sidebar.

  Hi there, I have tried a few option but not much luck..

  You will see in my link that the home page is not sitting first on the pages menu? and is not linking back to http://gardensbyted.wordpress.com/. It is instead defaulting to its own page.. I only would like this to link back to the homepage of my blog.

  Thank you

  You have set your blog to have a static front page. (dashboard > settings > reading > static front page & your posts page is set to “home”
  Also, you have deleted your title. (dashboard > settings > general > no blog title typed in the box!!!—which would normally link to your static front page)

  I don’t understand why you have a static front page. Perhaps you are confusing posts and pages:

  I have tried setting up a static frontpage because when you navigate yourself into any of the pages there is no way of easily getting yourself back to the homepage of the site..

  Can you suggest another option?

  Usually, the front page of a blog is the page where you make your posts. You can set up a static front page for various reasons.

  BUT: Readers can always get back to your front/home page (whether it’s static or not) by clicking on the title:
  (if you have a title)
  Add a title to your blog: dashboard > settings > general > type a title in the box. Save changes.

  You can also put a link to your home page in a widget on your sidebar.

  Here is info about a static front page:

  Thanks for that-I have gone with the static homepage, but can you tell me.

  • Am I able to catergorise my images that I have uploaded to my various pages?

  At the moment when you click un the thumbnail to enlarge it tells you that it is classed as being uncatergorised? I would like to catergorise these.

  Also,

  • Can you tell me CSS to remove white keyline around image thumbnails.

  Thanks,

  Images cannot be categorized; just posts.

  Your images have the white frames around them because you have inserted them into your pages as a gallery. There is almost no editing you can do to a gallery. Images inserted into Chaotic Soul individually don’t have the white borders.

  It’s not the image that is being filed as uncatergorised. It’s an oddity of the attachment pages: uncatergorised must be your blog’s default category. The attachment pages are odd because we can’t exactly edit them, and we can’t add tags or categories, though they are treated like posts.
