I wanted the "About Me" page as the last link. But Wordpress makes it the first link across the top. I can't figure out how to prevent this. Thoughts?

Hi,
go to "appearance -> menu".
There you can drag and drop the menu items around to your liking.

Make sure you save the menu when you are done.

If it still sorts them alphabetically, then it might be theme related. But that would surprise me.

Let me know, if that did the trick.

Changes are usually instant.

Have you tried to move around the menu items it under "appearance -> menu"?

And did you refresh/reload your page?

I think you are right. It is theme related. I typed "About Me" over the phrase "Sample Page". It did OK in the section where I changed and saved the changes. But when I went to "View Site", the top toolbar still read "Sample Page" I'm wondering now if the change takes twenty four hours.

I moved the links up and down and then added "About Me" and saved it. Then I went to "View Site". " About Me" did not appear. "Sample Page" only appeared. I guess, as an option, I will integrate some details about myself with another page at the page bottom. I'll just write three or four sentences.

Maybe you accidentely made the "about me" menu a subitem of another menu?

Make sure the menu item is not indented under another menu item.

Here is a part of my menu.

Some of my links are indented, so they will only show if someone goes with the mouse over the main link.
Others are not indented and will show up in the menu bar.

I know what you mean. But I don't think I did. I'll check though.

I wrote an entire page for my website. I tried to add links to navigate the pages. I changed the "About" page to "Home". It would not add the links across the top of the web

Be aware (very aware) about themes that have a static front page. For instance theme twenty-thirteen has one and I managed to "lose" some of my stuff but found it on that page. This page opens up first on entering the site but once you move to another page you cannot get back without re-opening the site. I am just about learning how to manage it. Hope this helps Regards Ken

You do not give enough details but it cannot be lost. Some version exists somewhere.

My domain name has a search rating of less than 10, a traffic rating of less than 10, and a PPC rating of 9.5. Are these good indicators?

While it may help, the most important part is going to be your content. People are more likely to find your site because of your content than your domain name.

Best of luck, Diana

OK...Thanks..
