  So I just hosted a blog on wordpress, everything has been great, I only have a few questions:
  [img]http://img362.imageshack.us/img362/2127/helplz8.jpg[/img]
  (pic for reference)
  (Red)1. Is there anyway to change this? I don’t know how that even happen, except for maybe having been my first page, is it some kind of category? I tried searching in the category section but nothing. I want to change it to something like site map or index, not videos.

  (Blue)2. Again is there any way to change that too, like a slogan instead of “just another wordpress weblog”?

  (Yellow)3. I would like to have a “home” link to the first thing that comes up when visiting, because there is no way of going back there when you click in another link, only typing the main address again.

  So if anybody would be kindly answer those questions I would really appreciated.

  btw, another quick question, can you post youtube videos? Not the link like the little window?

  1. Looks like the pages widget – but I need a link to your blog to be sure.
  2. Dashboard > settings > general settings – change the tagline to whatever you
  3. The theme doesn’t allow for a home tab. You can click on the header and it will take you back home. Or you can add a home link in a text widget and place it at the top of your sidebar.

  For 3, you can also put a home link as the title of a page. See here.

  @comptipspage: So “Videos” is your pages. Go to Design > Widgets > Page Widget, click Edit, change title, click Save Changes.

  But at the moment your have created three empty pages, apparently waiting for future posts. Once you create posts, I think you’ll find that it’s probably better to assign them to different categories, not pages.

  smartideasinc: your specific problem is that you didn’t bother to look at the FAQs or previous forum threads.

  Thanks for all your help mates, my problems are solved!
  I just have another quick question, can I make my old posts stay up and new ones going down? Instead of the default newer first?

  You can by either changing their dates (Write or Manage Post > Edit “Published on”) or using the “book” makeshift (see here).

  Thank you for your kind reply (I find it strange that sometimes people don’t let the one who gives some advice know that they did or didn’t get an answer to their problem).

  Thank you very much for you kind offer, too, but it’s not necessary: first, I have made the custom header I wanted myself, second the forum is for helping one another – no return favor needed!
