  We just changed themes and this pointed out that we don’t have a “home” page per se. All the posts you see when you go to the blog are on a page that isn’t named,so if you to another page you can’t get to what we think of as the home page except by backspacing.. I tried making a home page but I can’t figure out how to move all the posts to that page. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks, Maggie

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

  You created a “welcome” page and the tab for that page is named “home.”

  Are you using a custom menu?

  You don’t have to “move your posts” anywhere. This is your home page:
  http://larrywayneclark.wordpress.com/

  What you mean is that the new theme didn’t have a Home link in its top nav menu. Two ways to create that:

  1) Edit the “Home” page you created and change its slug to this:

  index-php

  If you’re not sure what the slug is, see here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-title-url/

  2) Delete that page and create a custom menu instead:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

  (Click the cross to create the menu, give it a name, click View All in the Pages module to reveal the built-in Home link, select them all, add to menu, save menu, select menu from the Theme locations pulldown, save.)

  I can’t figure this out but thanks for the help anyway. It wasn’t an issue in the previous theme so I may just go back to it.
