  You can’t do that on WP.com.

  Raincoaster, I believe you can kinda sortta. I rigged it, but I’m not sure if I’m following the thread. I wrote the name of what you want to call the tab. Then I highlighted what I typed. Then I clicked on hyperlink and pasted the URL for the site. Then I went under HTML and copied the whole thing. Then copied all of that in the title field for the page. When I pressed publish, it was a hot-linked tab. I had my blog set like that for a while, and it worked. But I don’t use it anymore.

  Ellaella, it does work; but it doesn’t work on all themes. I can’t remember what theme it did not work, but I think it was Digg 3. However it does work on other themes, cuz I did it LOL

  A lot of people. We get this question at least once a week.
