    Can I add a PAGE that when clicked from the sidemenu it goes to the HOME page of the site? If so how?

    Also when making posts or pages the author dropdown box only allows me to make "darren" the author and not myself (admin/ajjr) how can I add myself to that drop down menu to get credit for posts and pages?

    Also how can I show the author of the post on the pages? I usually see this next to the date of post under the title on some WordPress sites.

    See this plugin:

    "when making posts or pages the author dropdown box only allows me to make "darren" the author and not myself."

    By default the user hierarchy in WordPress does not allow an 'author' to change the author of a post to someone else. Only admins or editors can perform this action.

    "how can I show the author of the post on the pages?"

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_author

    Look for this line in the default theme templates:

    <small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>

    and just remove the HTML comment tags from the_author():

    <small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> by <?php the_author() ?></small>
