    I have been browsing the forum and can’t find help with how to have 2 separate blog links within one blog site on the first page or home page, if that is the correct name, that one sees when they go to the blog. What I want is what http://www.stonyfield.com/weblog/ has.
    They have a blog and link to “Baby Babble” and “The Bovine Bugle.” These are 2 separate blogs. The initial presentation looks very clean–how do I do this within word press and have other links in a bar up top such as Stoney Field has? Thanks in advance.

    You would just add the blogs to your blogroll. Then they will show up on your sidebar, which is what that is on the side of Stonyfield, the sidebar.

    You can have more than one set of “links”, by giving the groups separate names. For example “Blogroll” and “Links”.

    Use your dashboard:
    Dashboard > Blogroll > Add Links

    Another way to Add to your blog roll is if you are currently viewing a wordpress.com blog and you would like for it to be on your blogroll on your blog, go to the top right of your dashboard and there is a dropdown. Choose ‘add to blogroll’.

    You could also create a static front page and then set it as the front page under options > reading.

    Thank you for your quick reply, but I am not talking about the Stony Fields main website page. If you go to http://www.stonyfield.com/weblog/
    you will see in the main part of that page 2 places to enter into the blogs. They both are rectangular in shape and longwise–a template perhaps? Anyway… one is titled “Baby
    Babble”

    A weblog, or
    blog, where parents
    can meet up, rant,
    offer and seek advice,
    or just tell us their
    trials and triumphs.

    and the other,
    The Bovine
    Bugle

    “Moos” from
    Jonathan Gates and
    his organic dairy
    farm, Howmars
    Farm in Franklin, Vermont.

    A baby picture is on the front of the “Baby Babble” and the other has a picture of a man, probably the farmer. How do you do this? I want to visually display 2 separate blogging spaces per se.

    That’s exactly what TSP is telling you. You have one static page for your front page. On it you make a table with two “buttons” which are images linked to separate blogs. The blogs have different URLs, but you can use the same theme and even the same header for them if you want.

    Oh okay. I am beginning to get on the “same page” as you all. Well then, can you please direct me to how to make a table with the two “buttons” as you mention.

    I don’t know how to make tables. You need to write it in HTML and paste it into the Code editor, that I do know.

    I know some html, so I can attempt that. How can I paste into the code editor? I will pose this question in Word Press’s FAQ and already existing forum questions unless you have a direct suggestion. Thanks again!

    When you go to write a post, just click the Code tab over the writing box. That takes you to the code editor, where all your instructions have to be in HTML.
