Making a “Home” tab pull up my main blog url
-
Is there a way to make a “HOME” tab that pulls up my main blog url ( http://greenmarketconsulting.wordpress.com )? When I try to do it, it requires a new word to be added to the url to make a new page. I don’t want to add a new word. I just want a “HOME ” tab that brings you back to my main url
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

create a “home” page
on the dashboard left hand side:
Settings–>ReadingFront page displays
click “static page”
then select the page you want to be the front page. -
thanks for the reply but i don’t want a “static page” , i just want to make a tab titled “Home” but instead of having a static page with content that it links to i want it pull up my main url http://greenmarketconsulting.wordpress.com

Just add a text widget above all other widgets and write a link to your main blog URL in it.

when you create a page, is there a way to make pages but not have the “tab” appear at the top…just have the pages listed on the sidebar but no tab at the top?

ok…so I’m trying Panaghiostisadam’s suggestion—> Just add a text widget above all other widgets and write a link to your main blog URL in it.
I added the text widget but how do I link it ? when I do the blog there is the Link option to insert the link but i don’t see any option like that on the text widget?

The text widget does not have an editor associated with it. You can write your links in the post editor. Put in the text you want as a link, highlight it, click the “link” button, paste the link in and click “insert.” Then switch to the HTML tab, copy out the code and paste it into the text widget. Here is the code to link the word “home” to your main blog page.
<a href="http://greenmarketconsulting.wordpress.com/">Home</a> -
hey Richard. Thanks alot. That worked for me. Now how do I make another page link, “About”, to list below the link “Home” That I just made. When I try to do it puts the word right next to “Home” but i want it to go below it. even if i put it below , it moves it next to the previous word

You are aware that the blog title on your blog is a link to your home page, correct?
You need to create an about page and then publish it. Once you do, an about page tab will appear in the top navigation on the blog.

To do it in a text widget, wrap the code for the two links in paragraph tags or use a break tag if you do not want the extra line space between the links
With paragraph tags:
<p><a href="http://greenmarketconsulting.wordpress.com/">Home</a></p> <p><a href="http://greenmarketconsulting.wordpress.com/about/">Home</a></p>With break tag:
<a href="http://greenmarketconsulting.wordpress.com/">Home</a><br /> <a href="http://greenmarketconsulting.wordpress.com/about/">Home</a> -
For the Home link I would suggest this code:
<ul><li> <a href="http://greenmarketconsulting.wordpress.com/">Home</a> </li></ul>This way it will be bulleted, like the rest of the items in your sidebar.
I would also suggest you drag that widget to top position.

so there is no way to make a page with the template i am using that won’t have a TAB that appears at the top after I create a page?

If you use the vigilance theme, then under “vigilance options” you can exclude pages by page ID from the top navigation if you wish at appearance > vigilance options. Page ID’s can be found by going to page > edit, hovering your mouse over the page name in the list and looking at the browser bottom status bar. The number at the end after the ” = ” sign is the page ID number.
