   Hi everyone,

   I'm working on a website that will be connected to my WordPress blog.
   I just want to know If I can make one of my WordPress buttons go back to my Original website. For example, If I'm In WordPress and I click on my Home or About button It will take me back to an HTML website I did outside of WordPress.

   Yes you can if your theme supports custom menus you can use custom Links feature

   I use the Page Links To plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-links-to/ to link to external sites in the custom menu, that without special theme support.

   Thanks Guys!!!

   Both of these suggestions was very helpful. Now is there away I can change a button name? For example if I want to change the home button to say "Check US Out" is it possible?

   If ou use a custom menu, you edit that in the menu item. Look under Appearance/Menus.

   Although its possible to change these it's best practice to not confuse your readers. The Home, About, and Contact pages sould have those names in the menu and the Search button should be labeled "Search". Steve Krug has a good writeup on this in "Don't Make Me Think", a must read for all web designers, developers and customers.
