Hi Patricia! The ellipsis (…) in the upper right hand corner of your site appears to be a sidebar which has been squeezed into a tiny space next to your menu. The first thing I would advise, in order to help you a little bit, is to go to “Appearance” on your dashboard, then “Menus”. There should be a section for “Posts”. If you expand that selection, You should see something like “Most Recent”. Theoretically, it will show the blog posts you have made since your move to NetFirms. You should then be able to “Select All” at the bottom of the list and click the button next to it, “Add to Menu”. That should at least put your recent blog posts on your actual menu. Take a fresh look at your site to see if you can now see that on your site. Next if you go to “Appearance” on your WordPress dashboard, then “Widgets”, you should see “Sidebar” as one of the widget areas. You probably have “Recent Posts” added to that sidebar. If you click there on that Sidebar section, you should see “delete” at the bottom. Click that, and it may automatically save, or you may need to click the “Save” button next to it. That is the main help I can provide. It is possible that your old posts and new posts are in separate databases, which could be why your new posts aren’t appearing in the same place as your old (copied and pasted) posts. Also, your background image (as lovely as it is) appears to be about 3 or 4 MB in size. It will take “forever” to load no matter how good someone’s connection is (nevermind on a smart phone.) You would want the file size of any image on a site to be less than 1 MB (ideally even less than 100 kB). Your photo editing software, or a knowledgeable photo person should be able to reduce the file size without a big loss of quality. In regards to “Self-Hosting” I believe what the WP people mean is that you have your site hosted with a host of your choosing, as opposed to being hosted with word press .com. In terms of your content, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
