  Hi there
  Whenever I upload a post to my site, it appears at the bottom of the homepage. I would obviously rather have the most recent at the top. How can I amend this?

  Also, I want to be able to harvest contact details for people who sign up for a newsletter. How can I do this?
  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello!

  The reason why older posts appear on top could be because they were marked ‘Sticky’. There is an option in the WordPress post editor, where you can mark that post ‘sticky’ – i.e. it would be displayed on top.

  So if you want all your latest posts to come on top, I would recommend you to open the post(s) that currently appear on top of the blog in your editor and remove the sticky tag.
