  I created a page titled “Home” and I want to link it to the original main blog page where I post blog entries/posts. How can I link the “Home” page to the main page? Or do I create this a different way?

  Thanks in advance!

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

  Hi. What’s the URL of the “Home” page in question?

  It’s the main page of my wordpress blog. I created a “Home” tab and I just want it to link to my main wordpress page. For example, narinea.wordpress.com
  How can I do this?

  Thanks!

  narinea.wordpress.com already has what appears to be the default “Home” tab, which is why I thought you were referring to another blog.

  I was, that was just an example. The one I was referring to was private. Anyways, I changed the settings, I am referring to this blog. http://beyourownpuzzle.wordpress.com/

  Thank you. On that blog, there is already a menu featuring “Home” which directs to:
  http://beyourownpuzzle.wordpress.com/home-2/

  If you want to make that static page the front page for your beyourownpuzzle blog, here are the instructions to follow:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  If you want your front page to remain as it is (the list of your latest posts), but want to add/remove items manually from the menu on the top right corner, you may want to create or update your custom menu:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

  Does that answer your question? :-)

  Thanks for helping me out with this. :) What you sent is very helpful as well.
  However, I want that home tab at the top to redirect to http://beyourownpuzzle.wordpress.com, exactly as it is. I don’t think the instructions you sent are directed at that because it’s telling me to create a separate page called “Posts.” It suggests I separate the two. However, I just want it to link to http://beyourownpuzzle.wordpress.com just the way it is, with blogs posts included.

  Thanks again!

  OK, in that case create or update the customs menu following the second link I gave you and manually add a link called “Home” that directs to the URL “/”. Here’s that link again:

  Or try deleting the empty “Home” static page at Pages > Pages.

  I have tried going to the Menu section and adding a Custom link where I titled the label “Home” yet it does not appear on my page.
