  I would like to see all of the pages listed under a single heading on my blog’s home page without having to scroll down.

  Here is the link to my blog: http://cfcidonations.wordpress.com/

  Thank you!

  Hi there,

  You can customize your navigation menu to your liking by building a custom menu:

  You can add a custom menu to your sidebar by using the custom menu widget:

  Another option would be to use the pages widget to display a list of your pages in the sidebar:

  Hi Chris,

  Thanks for the info, I am almost there! I am using the pages widget and it gives me the option to exclude some pages from my sidebar, but when I enter the page ID in the exclusion box it doesn’t exclude those pages. I have looked around on the Web and all of the documentation says I should be seeing a number in the URL, but my pages don’t have numbers. Is that because my blog is hosted by wordpress instead on my own site?

  Either way how do I exclude pages using the pages widget?

  Thank you!

  To find the Page ID, go to Pages->Pages and click the title of the page.

  The address bar of your browser will display a URL with a numeric ID at the end. This is the page ID.

  You can exclude pages by entering their page IDs in the exclude field of the pages widget:
