  Hi,
  I’m new to this and so far so good…am finding out every day how to so more and more and enjoying it. But am stumped over one thing-how an I edit the site so that the posts appear on it in the order they’ve been posted, rather than most recent first??
  Because I’m dealing with bereavement, I really feel that a new visitor reads what the site is about and why I started it, then the subsequent posts will make more sense.
  Can any of you help please?
  Thank you,
  Lyn x

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

  Blogs are essentially a reverse chronological order publishing tool wherein the most recent published post will display on top. You cannot change this order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. There is no upgrade that allows you to change this post order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. It’s designed to serve your visitors as they come to read the most recent posts and will not be inclined to trawl through hundreds of posts to locate it.

  See here for the option of creating a book-like structure > http://en.support.wordpress.com/write-a-book/ Perhaps that will work for you.

  Or you could use a single sticky post as an index page > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts

  Or you can falsify every date-stamp before publishing.
