  Hi there,

  I created a static front page on my blog http://keepitdowntown.org/ (the static front page is called ‘welcome to Keep it Downtown), but I don’t understand the instructions on how to hide the page so that I don’t end up with both ‘home’ and ‘welcome to Keep it Downtown’ in the top navigation bar.

  I tried setting a different parent for the page as described here: http://support.wordpress.com/pages/hide-pages/, but there was no home page option in the drop down menu of choices, so I tried creating a new page called home, which–not surprisingly–has created two ‘homes’ in the navigation bar.

  Thanks.
  Julie

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

  The one “Home” is a built-in link to your blog front; you can’t change it. The second one is useless; delete it. And set “In the news” as the parent of “Welcome”.
