    Hi
    I’m trying to setup a blog for accommodation using the Theme STAY.
    It doesn’t seem to setup the way it looks in the demo, so I suspect I may have done something wrong. So I would like to wipe everything for Andora Cottage and start again.
    Thanks

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

    The Stay theme seems to be a difficult theme for a lot of bloggers to comprehend the workings of. Here’s a link to the detailed theme description:
    http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/stay/
    Scroll down to “Home Page Template”
    See also Live demo site here http://staydemo.wordpress.com/

    You will need to follow the instructions to make the theme to look like the one in the demo. The demo is using the “Home page template” which cycles through select top level pages on your site. Create a page called for example “Home” and then set that page as the static front page for your site and create another page fro example “blog” for your posts to appear on.

    The front page of the blog by default will display your posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. If you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page. To do that create two pages > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

    Note: The theme has a featured page slider and image size is at least 960 wide. Ideal width for the slider is 1200px.

    There is no such thing as a theme reset button.You simply remove whatever your added and undo whatever you did.

    re: front page error message

    Nothing Found
    It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.

    By default the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post not a page the error message will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

    On the bottom of your Admin page you will find a link to the step by step Learn WordPress.com blogging Tutorial prepared by Staff. http://learn.wordpress.com/

    The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also on the bottom of your Admin page.

    Thanks. I seem to be getting closer to what I want. The problem I now have is that Home & About appear below the images, any other page tabs appear at the top – which is where I want them.
    How do I move the Home & About tabs to the top?
