  I am here on WordPress & i don’t have a clue what i have done wrong. Please can someone help me – i have been working on this for so long i am in tears…. (literally) – I have set up the site and have added 4pages titled (3rs, arriving, reviews, cliks, thanks) – i wanted the beginning page to be at the HOME page (since that tab is already there) but that wouldn’t work. so now the 3rs is the front page.. :( but now i want to put the reviews on the review page & when i try to get it there, it either goes onto the first page (3rs) or it goes on the review page BUT everything from the 3Rs page is right there on the Reviews page…. please someone help me -(& be nice, I am really trying here)

  Sure. That’s a Myspace blog, not a WordPress blog. We simply can’t help you here because WordPress blogs work very, very differently from Myspace blogs. I don’t know where you’d ask for help for a Myspace blog.

  See, if you do that first, it’s easier to help you. Please make sure the link on your name goes to your WordPress blog (you can set that on your profile page).

  I can’t see any Pages on that blog at all except the Thanks page, and only the one post. You should put the Latest Post widget in your sidebar so people can navigate.

  There are some things you need to know about the way a blog works before you can get your blog to do what you want. First of all, check this to learn the difference between pages and posts. Realize that all your posts go into the blog (Home). Pages are static; you can’t keep adding to them, it just doesn’t work. They sit outside the blog completely.

  If you want to make a page that has all your reviews, all you have to do is tag every review with the tag “Review” and then you go to the review page by clicking on “review” in the Categories in your sidebar. Note that this means you’ve got to have the Categories widget in the sidebar!

  To change where on the blog readers start, you can change that under your Options. From what I can see, the Home Page IS the 3rs page, which IS the blog itself. If you want it to be a different page, first make the page and then switch the start page under your Options.
