  I finished writing my blog in Feb 2017 but would still like it to be active as people like to look at it. When people access my blog it always opens at the end (my last entry) so they have to scroll backwards. Is it possible to change it so it opens at the start?
  I’d be grateful for any advice.

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

  Hi annemfrances!

  If I understand right, you want to show your posts from oldest to newest (rather than newest to oldest).

  You have a few options that I’m summarizing from this WordPress support page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/show-your-posts-in-chronological-order/

  1. The quick fix is you can just send your website link written as https://annemfrances.wordpress.com/?order=asc. That /?order=asc bit of text quickly reorders the posts for you.
  2. The bigger fix would be to create a new Page and then add this shortcode to the text area: [display-posts order="ASC"]. Then you want to make that Page into your static homepage. To do that, just follow this guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  I hope that helps you! Let me know if everything works for you!
