  Hello,

  I’d like to publish a post without an author name. My theme is Manifest. Is there a way to do this?

  Alternatively, is there a way to order the “Home” or blog page to come after another page (that will now be named “Home”)?

  Thank you.

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

  Hello there,
  Some themes are designed to provide author bylines on posts and some are not. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/08/15/author-displayed-or-not/ When I theme does provide an author byline, the only way to not have it display is to purchase an annually renewable custom design upgrade http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/ and use CSS editing http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/ to change that.

  The Home link tab is the URL for your blog http://mariagranovsky.com/
  What exactly do you want to do? If you provide more detail then we can provide the best way to achieve it. Do you want your visitors to click into your site arrive on the page for your posts as they do now or do you want them to click in and find themselves on a Welcome page?

  The front page of the blog by default will display your posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. If you do not want the posts to be displayed on the front page, then you can create a static front page Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts. If you choose a static front page then you have to create two pages as I said above. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ “ After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  Timethief, thank you very much. I want visitors to hit a static welcome page when they click on the mariagranovsky.com link, and the blog to be a later page.

  Thanks again,
  Maria

  Seriously, i have been wanting to ask that question too, as regards the author name. It is good that you asked.
