    https://australiantelegraph.wordpress.com/ is just fine.

    What is the URL of the site you lost?

    Yes that is the one which I termed ‘lost’ which was probably not the right way to put it.
    That brings up the home page (Welcome) ok.
    ‘please enter’ at the foot of the image should be linked to the first page which is the main page from which everything else is linked.
    I have tried to do a new page, which has three columns across. Left column has an image, centre column has text and the right one another image. I cannot get the images to sit in the centre of the columns and want the text block in the centre to have a border around it. Can’t work any of this out.
    I have also found on archive.com a backup of both the home page and next page, but can’t work out if they could be copied and inserted into wp or how to restore them to the site.
    The original lost page has images on it correctly and whilst they are different to what I’m trying to put into a new page, I don’t really care which pics are there as long as they are centred correctly.
    Will be most grateful for help to do this.
    Thanks … Ron

    I see two pages on your site: https://australiantelegraph.wordpress.com/, which is the front page, and https://australiantelegraph.wordpress.com/contents-2/. I assume this Contents page is the one you want to link to?

    There is also a draft page, also with the title “Contents”.

    The Please Enter link at the bottom of the home page is not linked to any page on your site, but to a document file “contents.docx”. However, there is no such file in your media library, just a file called “contents-9.docx”.

    Edit that link, and replace the current URL with https://australiantelegraph.wordpress.com/contents-2/, and that link will go to your other page.

    I have also found on archive.com a backup of both the home page and next page, but can’t work out if they could be copied and inserted into wp or how to restore them to the site.

    Archive.com is not a backup of your site. That site has no connection at all to WordPress.com, and is just a site that takes periodic snapshots of sites across the web in order to preserve an ongoing history of the web. There is no way to restore anything from there, but it is a potential way to recover lost content by copy-pasting content from that site back into your own.

    Thanks.
    I’ve just got the contents page as I want it by deleting the 3 columns and replaced with a single column. Into this I have uploaded a jpeg file with the pics and text as I want them and this was published to the site ok, but now the home page says it can’t find the site

    Thanks again. That link fixed ok and links to contents page ok.
    Now to link all the contents listings to the pdf files. That’s as it was done before and worked very well so will see what happens now.
