I can't figure out how to set the Home page to show in chronological order.

    I am new to all this and have been through the tutorial and the FAQ and have been unable to find an answer to my question. Is there a way to show the posts where they are in descending order? I.e. when you log on to view my page my oldest post is first so it can be seen in order. Is there a way to accomplish this or is the latest blog always on top? I tried following the listed orders to manually do it but can not figure it out to get it to list like that when others log on. Please help

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

    Blogs are essentially a reverse chronological order publishing tool wherein the most recent published post will display on top. You cannot change this order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. There is no upgrade that allows you to change this post order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. It’s designed to serve your visitors as they come to read the most recent posts and will not be inclined to trawl through hundreds of posts to locate it.

    See here for the option of creating a book-like structure > http://en.support.wordpress.com/write-a-book/ Perhaps that will work for you.

    Or you could use a single sticky post as an index page > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts

    Or you can falsify every date-stamp before publishing.
