Thanks! I’ll work on number 3.

I’m using the “emtiness” template. You can find me at lisa-on-life.com

As for number 2, I see where I can make a static page, but the main page where I’ve already transferred posts from my other blog is not an option. Should I start over…create a new home page and then transfer my posts there?

As for number 3, the pages are in the sidebar next to the header. If I use the page widget, then “pages” automatically appears even though I have not given that widget a title. When I take the page widget off, “pages” disappears but then I get “feed” and “login” at the bottom of my page listing. I don’t know if I’m the only one who can see that or not. Can’t seem to get rid of those.

Ok, looked at number 3. That is really not enough information for an inexperienced person. I assume that I need to go through my cpanel to find the theme folder? (Which I tried and haven’t found yet, but will keep looking.) Then I just create new folders inside that folder? And within each folder I put the text that was used in the example with my own page name? Then what?
