  My website https://onemorearrowblog.wordpress.com

  has issues with my blog. I guess I deleted the original blog page it started with and have had trouble with it since. I want to be able click the BLOG tab and go to a menu, or timeline, of my blog posts.

  But now it’s says at the top “CATEGORY: UNCATEGORIZED” How do I get my main blog page to post ALL of my posts and not just my UNCATEGORIZED ones?

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

  Hi there,

  You have to create a new blog page and set it as your posts page by following these instructions:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/#optional-create-a-blog-page

  Next, remove the “Blog” entry from your menu and then add the previously created blog page in its place. Here are the instructions:

  Good luck with your adoption and let me know if you need more help :)

  Got it. Thanks so much.

  The only other thing I haven’t been able to figure out is how to embed code. I was trying to embed code for a sign-up form for a newsletter from Mail Chimp. It shows up in the visualizer tab but when I go to preview it or publish it it’s not there.

  Any idea?

  You’re welcome!

  As for embedding code, WordPress.com doesn’t allow much due to security reasons. You can read more about it here:

  In the case of MailChimp, you’re lucky because WordPress.com supports it with a through a widget. To set it up, read this guide:

  Let me know if you need anything else.
