Order of Posts

Just started a new blog. I have the reading setting set to show the latest posts on the front page. So far, there are only two. However, it is showing the older post first and the newer one second. All my other blogs have the newest post on top. What do I need to change to get the most recent post on top where it belongs?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I don’t see any way to edit a previous post. Please ignore the first one. The problem blog is dreamsuds, not indiatravels.

Looks like your first post on dreamsuds was set as a “sticky” post as timethief suggested. Follow the last link she gave and remove the sticky designation.

Hi there,
It’s good to see you answering questions. I’m recovering from surgery and not up to full speed yet. :) -
Timethief, thank you for your reply. I think the first post was defaulted to sticky, because I created the 2nd post the exact same way, and it was not set to sticky. I didn’t even know it was in there! Things have changed a lot since the last time I created a new blog.
So that was the problem, and it is now fixed. Thanks very much!
