  I don’t know how to make a new page. I would also like this to be visible at the top of my blog and so it would read:
  Home
  About
  Archive

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

  Hello there!

  I suggest creating a page called Archive, and then you can add the following shortcode to your page:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/archives-shortcode/

  Give that a try, and let me know how that works for you. If you need a hand with the code, tell me what you’re trying to achieve (what parameters you want), and how I can help!

  Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks very much.

  Hi again HE,
  I did manage to create an Archives page with your clear instructions. Thank you!
  Here is a link to my Blog homepage:
  http://sherrywigginsblog.com/
  My next question is can I customize the three lines at the top of my blog so that readers will see the the page titles instead of the lines?
  So they would see:
  Home
  About
  Archives

  Hey Sherry!

  Hooray! Nice work with that archives page. It looks great!

  Regarding the menu — there’s actually no way to add that type of navigation to the Celsius theme. The only option is to “lock” that menu open…but considering the way your menu opens, it would block your page view.

  If you’re unhappy with the “hamburger” menu (the three lines), you will have to move to another theme. If you choose to do this, and need assistance, please let me know and I can help further.

  Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much!

  Thanks for the advice. I really like the simplicity of the Celsius theme so I think now that I have an “Archive” page I will just stick with it.
  Looking at other themes is a little overwhelming. Do you have any recommendations of other themes that are simple graphically like Celsius that might give me more options?
  thanks again,
  Sherry

  Hey Sherry,

  I did a search for you based on the parameters of Celsius, and have narrowed things down for you a bit:

  https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/minimal+light+custom-menu/

  These are the ones I’ve chosen as most similar, with a top menu:

  https://wordpress.com/themes/manifest/
  https://wordpress.com/themes/cocoa/
  https://wordpress.com/themes/suidobashi/
  https://wordpress.com/themes/resonar/
  https://wordpress.com/themes/truly-minimal/

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!

  Hey again,
  Thanks for these suggestions. I am not quite ready to change my theme, but these fit my general aesthetic and needs so when I am ready I can choose.
  I appreciate your help.
