I want a web site not a blog. I am using Mixfolio theme.
-
How to make my home page like the Mixfolio demo home page…now it’s on the About page.
Also I want the photos on my home page to take me to 9 other pages as shown on the Mixfolio demo home page.
Also when I am finished I want to upload to a domain I have purchased not a sub-domain of wordpress.
Thank you.
TerriThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there. The images on the front page of the Mixfolio demo actually links to posts, not pages. That is how it appears to display its main feed of latest posts on the home page. The images are the featured images added to those posts.
To have it work as a website you’ll have to create a regular page and set it as your home page. Then you’ll have to insert images manually to that page and link them to the respective pages you want, but I don’t think you’ll get it to display exactly as on the demo page.
See this support doc for using WordPress.com to set up a website instead of a blog: http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/
To use a custom domain you already own with your WordPress.com you need to buy the domain mapping upgrade: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
If you want to be completely self-hosted, you’re wasting your time doing anything here as you cannot create a site on WordPress.com and then upload it to your own host. If you create something here you will only be able to export your content, nothing else.
For a self-hosted website you need to download the WordPress.ORG software, upload a WordPress.ORG theme and create your website at your hosted domain. For help with that you’ll need to post in the WordPress.org forums. For information on setting up a self-hosted site, start here: http://wordpress.org/hosting/

You’re welcome. I assume you are keeping bookmarks and whenever I note a link you made want to bookmark I provide it for you. :)

I do and it’s much appreciated. Building up my own library of copy-paste answers for common issues as well.

I have a private blog for that purpose. It’s has hundreds of copy and paste answers and links in it.

That’s a great idea, thanks. I’m using a Word doc at present, but a blog makes much more sense for indexing and searchability.
