How do I change the name of my blog from Home to Blog?
-
I have three static pages one of which is called Home. I would like to change the name of the blog to Blog (currently it’s default name is Home). I have seen various answers using code – if this is the answer then can someone please explain where I need to paste the code to? Thank you!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The tabs in your top menu are links. “Home” is supposed to be a link to your blog front. By default, your blog front displays your latest posts. If you want the blog front to display a static page instead (the one you’ve titled “Home”), and have a “Blog” tab as well that links to your latest posts, then
1) go to Pages > Add New and create a blank page titled Blog,
2) go to Settings > Reading > Front page displays: set “Home” as your Front page and “Blog” as your Posts page.

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.
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. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus
panaghiotisadam provided instructions for you to use if you do not want all the posts to display on the front page of your blog, then you can create a static front page for your site, and also create a “blog” page for your posts to display on, but that’s optional.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/I’m not sure if you are clear on the differences between posts and pages. If you aren’t then you won’t comprehend the ramifications of choosing to create a page based structure, rather than the conventional post based structure. May I suggest that you read Better Blogging at WordPress.com: Pages and Posts? It’s my position that static front pages are traffic killers. Blog readers come to your blog to read your most recent content. They expect to click “Home” and arrive on the front page of your blog from any page in the blog and locate your most recently published posts right there.
If you choose to create a static front page then you are choosing to compel every return visitor to click through the same blah, blah, blah “home” page that you say you want to create above every time they visit the blog. As for me, I do that only once and then I click out of the blog never to return again.
