  Hello

  I am wondering if anyone can help me out with the layout of my blog. I do not want the new posts that I do to go onto my homepage, but they are adding to it. I put them into the catagory that they should be, so I assumed that this would be the only place that they were visable at. All I want on my homepage is the description of the page and then they have to click on the catagories on the side to view them.

  Also, anyone know how I can make it so that my menu is not in alphabetical order but will go in the order that I would like it in?

  Thanks in advance everyone!!

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

  That’s the way sites are set up. What you want is to set up a static front page.

  If you want the order of your menu (Home, About) to be different, you can either use Page hierarchy or create a Custom Menu.

  All posts go to the main blog as well as their individual categories. Yes, you can make a Static Page and then go to Settings and set that as the start page of your blog, but the SEO penalty is substantial.
