  Hi there,

  I’m a wordpress.com user and like the ROUNDED theme. Unlike other tabbed templates though, it does not provide a HOME tab and I’d like to create one. I made the tab, but of course, it simply opens up a new blank page.

  I want to have a code embedded in the page that automatically redirects back to the home URL, but haven’t been able to make it work. Does anyone have any good ideas?

  Thanks in advance!

  An alternative is to write a short note in a text widget (placed in the top of the sidebar) informing readers that to return to the homepage they can click on the title of the blog.

  Thanks. I realize that I have a few other options (text widget, click on title, link on a home tab), but what I’d really like to do is have an AUTOMATIC redirect coded into the home tab I’ve created. That way, the moment they click on home, it sends them back to the main page. Has anyone been able to accomplish that?

  Apparently you didn’t try what I suggest in the link I gave you.

  You’re right. I didn’t read carefully enough and I thought you were just providing me with another generic link in the body of the page! Thank you, it works great!
