Help adding “home” to the menu?

    Hello,
    This is my first WP site. I am using WP 2.9.2 and I have two questions:

    1) I have edited an existing theme called “one day at a time” for our blog. I am trying to add a link “HOME” to the menu banner, in the left-most location, and have no idea how to do this. The current menu buttons represent ‘pages’ in the site… I feel like I am missing something totally obvious.

    2) How should the header.php code be edited to turn the header image into a link to “HOME” as well?

    Any guidance would be so appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Corinne

    1. If you’re currently using wp_list_pages to generate your Page navigation menu, you may want to have a look at using wp_page_menu instead. It can be configured to insert a Home link automatically.

    2. Have a look at this Codex entry.

    Thanks for the info.

    1) I got it to show the menu with HOME, but it wasn’t in the nav bar. It was a bulleted list overlay on the page. Perhaps a tweak to the CSS to match? I will tinker. Unsure how to remove and replace wp_list_pages with wp_page_menu as it is not using the same syntax? (sorry, I am really new to this)

    2) I had located and have tried to follow #2 but am unable to match the code to find/replace exactly, and seem to run into trouble each time. Is there a way to look at my code and tell me what to change exactly within my template?

    Thanks
