    On your old blog:

    Tools > export

    Choose to export everything. A file will download to your mac/pc.

    On your new blog:

    Tools > import

    Select wordpress. Install the importer and run it.

    Upload the file that was downloaded from the old blog.

    Follow the steps. This should move all posts and pages. Including any images etc.

    Then all you have to do is ftp your theme into the wp-content/themes folder on the new host.

    Try http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages

    You may need to add some HTML to style it properly.

    It will list just the pages you’ve created and therefore remove the extra home, hopefully.

    We may be able to edit the existing query, paste whats in header.php if you like and i will take a look.

    I thought that might happen.

    Ok plan of attack is to edit the query that creates the navigation. This means you’ll need to edit your header.php file – found in appearance > editor.

    I am not at a pc right now so cant paste the code you need. Try the WordPress codex. I will see if i can find a link.

    While you are waiting copy and paste all the header php file into notepad so you have a backup just in case.

    Hi,

    Removing the site title and description wouldnt cause google to show “blog archive” in listings for your site.

    What i think you’re after is the ability to alter your title tags.

    Easiest way to do this is to use a plugin such as the all in one seo pack.

    If that doesn’t do the trick just let me know.

    Your guess is correct.

    Ok, in that case i recommend creating a page called home if you dont have one already.

    Then copy content from the about page to home page.

    Set about page to draft and update.

    Then go to settings > reading

    Set the static page to be “home”.

    Let me know if that does the trick.

    Hey Carrie,

    What you are trying to do should be quite simple. From your dashboard, look for “appearance” on the left and then “menu”.

    On the menu page, providing your theme supports it you can create a custom menu.

    Just be sure to leave out the about page.

    If that doesnt work please let me know.
