Randomise posts?
-
I don’t want my latest post at the top of my home page. I would like to randomise all posts, or least have the oldest post showing at the top. The reason for this is that I have an update page which shows the latest content. Having the latest content at the top of the home page will just render the update page somewhat useless.
Any advice?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There is no setting you can use to randomize the display of posts or to display the oldest posts first. The Expound theme description is found here > http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/expound/
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. 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.

In the Expound theme you control which posts you assign the Tag to and which posts you insert featured images into. I choose to display only one featured post and it’s not necessarily my most recent post.
