  This may seem like a silly question, but for some reason I can’t figure out how to get my newest post to show first on my blog. It’s showing them in the order that I’ve written them, not reverse order as I figure it should be. Since it’s a new blog it’s not that bog a deal yet, but I know it will be when I have several posts and the very first one I wrote is still showing first. How do I change this?

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

  Are you asking about the blog linked to your user name? That one only has two posts and they do seem to be in the correct order…

  No the one that is showing first is the oldest post not the newest post, unless it is showing different for you than me…The newer post is the one titled “My Worst Lies…”

  Both posts have the same date. To make Worst Lies appear first, change the time stamp, so that it is the newest on that date.

  Thanks! I just realized this might be the case when I posted again and it is listed first.

  This can happen with the first post you make, especially if you change the time offset from GMT/UTC for your time zone (settings > general). The “hello world” post is actually posted by the system on GMT.
