  I had one blog called Home, but I wanted a Welcome page, so I created a static page, also called Home. Now I don’t know how to change my blog post page to Book Review Shorts.

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

  Hi there,

  You can do this by publishing a page titled: Book Review Shorts. Once that is published create a Custom Menu in Appearance > Menus of your Dashboard. Make sure to add that new page to your Menu. You can find specific instructions in the link above.

  Once that custom menu is created, go to Appearance > Reading in your Dashboard. Then set your Front page as: A static page and select Home as the Front page and the newly created Book Review Shorts page as your Posts page.

  Then you should be set! If you have any questions along the way, please let me know!

  Happy Blogging!

  Thanks so much, Grace. I got the first part okay. I have the new page, titled Book Review Shorts published, and have added it to my Menu.

  For the next step, though, under Appearance – there’s nothing that says Reading. The list starts with Themes and ends with Mobile . . .

  Whoops! That should have been Settings > Reading. Give that a try and see if that works for you.
