Hi,
I'm sure there must be an easy answer to this. I'd like to change the name of the "front" page of my site from the default "Home" to "Blog". I don't want to change anything about how this page operates/what it displays (I've made some changes to the index.php file to exclude some post categories) - I just want to change the name so that the menu navigation and URIs show "Blog" instead of "home".
Thanks,
Rob

Bump...anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks,

No, because nobody knows what theme you are using. Check out the header.php file, find the "Home" and edit it.

OK, my bad - I'm using Autumn Concept 1. Site is at http://www.graysonsinfrance.net/test (if you can't find it, I've already moved it to its "live" location at http://www.graysonsinfrance.net by the time you read this.
I looked in header.php, and it contains various references to "home", such as the following:
<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/">
and
<h1 id="logo">"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></h1>
and
I'm guessing maybe only the third one of these with the cap H needs changing?
Thanks in advance,
Rob
You'll most likely have a wp_list_pages somewhere. For example, mine says
<div id="menu"><ul><li><a href="./">Home</a></li><?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li='); ?></ul></div>See how the Page List is generated by PHP, but the "Home" is manually written in front of the code? You'll have something like that too.

The only reference I can find to list_pages in the header file is:
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>

You need to open your header.php file. Log into your Administrator section (wp-admin). Go to PRESENTATION > THEME EDITOR. On the RIGHT-HAND side where it says "Autumn etc theme files" and find header.php or just Header and open it.
Find this line:
<li><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">Home</a></li>
Change only the word "Home" to "Blog". Leave the get_settings('home') part alone.

Thanks, Gummybear - simple as that.
