The bar below the header
-
I have a bar under my header with a link for the home of my blog and a searcharea which are really usefull. But everytime i make a new page the title of this page and link to this page is also in the bar under the header and i don’t want that because i allready have that in my sidebar. Is there a way to avoid this ?
Thanks in advance
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Pages will automatically appear in the bar under your header; that is the navigation bar and it’s designed to allow your readers to negotiate to the pages on your blog.
Are you confusing pages with posts? Pages are meant for static information, while posts are the heart of your blog, the articles you write, the main part of a blog. They appear on you dynamic blogging page which is sometimes called “home,” or “front.”
Take a look at this support article:

In the one post you have made on your home page, you note:
You will find your way through this blog with the sidebar on the right.
To continue your blog, make a post about “Zap” and it will appear above that introduction post, then a post about “Robert Crumb” and it will appear above “Zap” make another post, and it will be on top.
Use an archives widget in your sidebar so readers can find your posts. -
Thanks 1tess. I had the intention to make posts instead of pages to which i could refer from the links in the sidebar. But i didn’t like the idea that every new post is automatically above the home of the blog. Is there a way to make this home of the blog static so it’s always what you see en you can use the links in the sidebar to see the posts that you want to see en press home to return to the socalled homepage.
Thanks again

I’d like to suggest that you read this article very carefully as it contains information that relates to your question. Some themes display widgets on every page in the blog and some do not. The Twenty Eleven theme does not display widgets on single post pages them. See here > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/11/12/widgets-on-pages-or-single-posts/ and here > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/05/04/workings-of-duster/ -
If you want your intro permanently on your homepage, there are four ways you can do it:
a) Mark the post as a sticky.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-postsb) Turn that intro into a page, and set your blog front to display that page instead of your latest posts.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/c) Display the intro in the sidebar instead of the main column. You’ll need to downsize the large image then copy the whole content from the HTML editor, go to Appearance>Widgets, add a Text widget and paste the content into it.
d) Use the special Twenty Eleven showcase template.
http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/05/04/workings-of-duster/Options c and d are better, because a returning visitor would rather see your latest post instead of the same old intro.
