How to Add a Back to Home button

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello there. I’m trying to figure out how to add a back to home button on to either my menu bar or my sidebar. When you first enter my blog you are in my posts page where all posts are shown on a scroll. If the reader enters a specific post from there and is then finished reading, how does the reader get back to that home page without hitting the back button? I would like a button that says HOME so they can go back to scrolling through all my posts. I want to make my site as reader friendly as possible and I have had a few requests for this. I’ve gone through all the options in settings and in widgets and can’t seem to figure it out. HELP!

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

    By default the front page of your blog at http://theprettyplatform.com/ displayed all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That was for the convenience of your returning visitors, who come to read your latest post, and who are not likely to be happy with being compelled to click through the same static page with the same blah, blah, blah on it every time they visit the blog looking for the latest post.

    However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, and know that static front pages are traffic killers, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts. To do that create two pages first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

    After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
