   I just created http://www.taygaaprons.com/blog Now I would like people to click on the top bar, let's say "aprons" and it will automatically go to http://www.taygaaprons.com How can I do this? Also, is my site getting the SEO credit using this blog this way since I am using Just Host to integrate them? Thanks!

   I'm going to take a stab at this since I'm looking for something similar that I don't think exists. However, in your case, across the top are the pages of your blog. You most certainly could make a PAGE and put the link to your primary website on that page - saying something like "visit my apron store here" or whatever.

   You can also add you primary site to your blogroll or create a banner for the site and put it in a text box on the sidebar.

   At the moment it would be great to just have them close the blog and be redirected to the site. THAT'S what I'd like to see happen.... but I have yet to find any solution to the problem LOL!

   If there are other thoughts and/or strategies out there, I'll be watching your discussion :)

   Sorry just wanted to add that I'd get the All In One Seo plugin for your blog. It's a great SEO manager and appears at the bottom of your writing page. Just fill in the fields with the title, description, and tags. Also, if you have it, be sure to put the tags into the field on the right hand column and of course mark your categories. Then you're covering all your bases :)

   All you're wanting to accomplish is to create a link that connects to the other site from your page navigation bar.
   Quickest way would be to go into your page code and hack the navigation bar and add the link in there.

   So your navigation code should look something like this:
   <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=name&title_li=&depth=6'); ?>
   and what you want to add is this
   <a href="http://yoursitedestination.com">yoursitename</a>
   You should be able to add that right after the php code while still within the ul of your navigation bar.

   You might need to create a little extra CSS code for that link so that it lines up correctly, but it works.

   Kayelless,
   I tried and this is what I get http://www.taygaaprons.com/blog

   Is there a way I can get it so once I click on Aprons at the top it goes directly to my site?

   Try my friend's neat trick. You will need to create a page template specifically for this, but you can use it to create any number of pages that are just links elsewhere.
