    You have set your front page (landing page, home page) as a static page rather than using the built in front page for the Responsive theme with its home template or a blogging page.

    “Home › About Us”
    “Home › Archive for BLOG”
    Home › Clubs
    and so on…

    Theme specs here: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/responsive/
    ———————————
    Those links on the top of each page are called “breadcrumbs” and are a feature of the Responsive theme.

    They are meant to assist your readers in knowing where they are on your site. For example, if you had subpages published it might guide them to
    “Home › Clubs › Super Council” (rather than to a “nothing found page)

    And if the Super Council had some further child or sub pages they might look like this:
    “Home › Clubs › Super Council › subset 1”
    and
    “Home › Clubs › Super Council › subset 2”
    This means a reader could easily navigate back to any one of these pages.

    I’ve worked with that Responsive theme in it’s wp.ORG version, so it may be different for the wp.COM version. For my purposes, the breadcrumbs were useful.

    There were workshops as a main parent page, with child (or sub-pages) for girls, for boys, then grand-child pages under each for pre-schoolers, for school vacations, and for several other categories. It let readers easily navigate to each page and sub page.

    Here is how the theme demo shows a grandchild page with the breadcrumbs:

    On wp.COM version of Responsive theme, it doesn’t look like you can turn that feature on and off. If you don’t like it or don’t have a use for it then it might be possible to edit the CSS with a paid upgrade. Please ask in the CSS forum before you pay for that upgrade—my experience with custom design is very limited so I cannot advise you.

    Wow, you are AMAZING!

    Do you know how I can get a calendar onto the page, as opposed to Google Calendar?

    Thanks! and I hope the information is useful for you. One thing I read recently is that breadcrumbs help with SEO—increasing traffic. Unfortunately, I cannot find the reference. It was somewhere on these forums but very deep and late at night for me.

    As for the calendar, you might look at this:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/eventbrite-event-calendarlisting-widget/
    But it’s a widget so you’d have to show it on a page on the sidebar.

    Hope that helps?
