MAKE YOUR BLOG YOUR HOME PAGE

…AND CREATE A BLOG TAB

For a while, my website’s front face was my static “About” page. Interesting only to those who already knew me. But I preferred to set my blog as home page. Trouble was, whenever I tried to set up my blog as a home page, I was missing a tab. That meant, as soon as I navigated away from the blog, there was no tab to navigate back to it.

So here’s a quick way to solve this problem.

Go to  Add page. Add a new, empty page you call “Home” or “Blog.”

Move to Appearance/Menu. If the “Home” or “Blog” page doesn’t already appear on the right with your other pages, add it to your menu, and move it into first position.

Open the “Home” or “Blog” submenu by clicking Page (with the tiny arrow on the right-hand side).

This opens a handful of fields. Into the field labeled “Navigation Label” write:

<a href=”http://yourdomain.com”>Home</a>, if you called your page “Home,” or

<a href=”http://yourdomain.com”>Blog</a>, if you called your page “Blog.”

Save.

If all is well, this should have done the trick.
