setting a page to be the HOME page
-
2 questions:
a: the first item i created was a Page (http://tvhs72.wordpress.com/twin-valley-high-school-reunion-class-of-1972/) called Twin Valley High School Reunion – Class of 1972. How can i make that my Home page which people will see when they goto tvhs72.wordpress.com? I’m setting up my wife’s highschool reunion.b: when i take the “Home” link from the menu bar of the above page, it is not found because i know i deleted it a few days ago. However, on the page that displays that error message, how do i get rid of that menu on the right (right-most column)? In Screen Options, i have it set to 1 Column but get 2. I’ve been able to use this 1-col on other pages and it worked there.
Thanks.

You can learn how to set a static page as your front page here:

nice shooting! Your tip helped. Initially, on the Menu bar of the page, i had a Home item and a Twin Valley High School Reunion item which had 2 sub-items under it (for lack of better term).
Now, the Home item displays the static page i want but now the 2 Twin Valley High School sub-items appear as parent items which is no biggie but i’d like to have a 2nd parent item on menu bar called Photos under which the 2 Twin Valley High School pages would be sub-items.
Sorry for longwinded and i do appreciate your quick reply.

Hi Al,
You can change the order of pages in your site’s navigation bar by creating a custom menu:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/You can create a new page called Photos and then add those two pages as sub-menus, if you’d like.

Evarlese,
Thanks for your quick reply! I created a page called Photos and added 2 other existing pages to it using Appearance -> Menu but when i preview the page, the Photo page does not appear as an element on the menu bar but the 2 subpages appear as individual top-level menu options. Hope i explained this correctly.

Macmanx,Evarlese, and yoavf,
Thanks for all of your advice! It all worked and it now looks the way i want it to with sub-menus. I was eventually able to figure out some stuff myself and work with the # placeholder. Check it out now: tvhs72.wordpress.comI do appreciate your assistance. You all provide excellent customer support.
Way cool!
Al
