  I moved my blog being under WordPress.com to being self-hosted by another site. When I changed my theme, I noticed that I did not have a Home page so my followers can access it whenever they want to go back to that page to see all of my latest posts. At the moment, my latest post is the landing page, but there is no Home page that will bring them back to this spot. How do I create this page so my most recent posts is connected to a Home page page/button?

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

  Hi there,

  For help with your self-hosted site, you’ll want to make a post in the WordPress.org forums for your theme:

  https://wordpress.org/support/theme/marlin-lite

  You’ll need a free WordPress.org account to post – if you don’t already have one, you can register here:

  https://wordpress.org/support/register.php

  Be sure to provide a link to your site when you post so folks can help you more easily.

  Hi, dcoleonline,

  I tried registering for a new WordPress.org account, but I have not been able to create one. I got up to the point where I got the confirmation email so I can create a password. This is the URL it gave me: https://login.wordpress.org/register/confirm/reesespeaksblog/[removed unique code]/, but it keeps sending me to a login page where I need to have a passord. I cannot have a password to get in if I have not created one yet.

  I am not sure what to do at this point. Any help you can give me would be great. Here is the link to my site: http://www.reesespeaks.com.

  Thanks for any help you can giev me to get past this point so I can resolve my initial issue.

  Hi there – I checked and it looks like your account did get created:

  https://profiles.wordpress.org/reesespeaksblog/

  Could you try the “lost password” form to reset your password? Enter your email address there instead of your username.

  https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/

  Let me know it goes.

  Hi, kathrynwp,

  This time, it worked. Earlier today, I was trying to do this, and it would keep sending to the login page without sending me to the reset/create a new password page.

  Now I can leave my request in the support Marlin Lite Theme group.

  Thanks so much!
