Hi: I am having trouble deleting the original "home" link from my site when I change my homepage to a static page. My site is here http://www.flee-mail.com Does anyone have any idea where I should fix this. I tried messing with the header file code but I couldnt fix anything.

Is your menu hard coded or is it generated with a WordPress function?

Post the code for the menu. :)

Looks like you have 2 Pages named Home. Log into WordPress and head over to your "Pages" area. Look to see if there's one named "Home". Don't delete it, just rename it and see if one of the Home links change to the new name.

If so, then you probably don't need it and can delete that page. Just make sure that's the one you can delete before you go deleting it, though.

Rename it to, say, "Temp". If the second Home menu link changes to say "Temp", then you can delete it.

WpBlogHost when I do that it defaults my home page back to the blog because there is no static page to link to

You could try replacing:
```
<div id="menu">
	<ul>
		<li class="page_item <?php if ( is_home() ) { ?>current_page_item<?php } ?>"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php _e('Home', 'elegant-grunge') ?></a></li>
		<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1'); ?>
	</ul>
</div>
```
with:

<?php wp_page_menu('depth=1'); ?>

But you'll need to go through your stylesheet changing every reference from #menu to .menu.

If that doesn't appeal, make a note of the id for the page you're currently using as your Home page, then amend:

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1'); ?>

to

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1&exclude=X'); ?>

where X = your home page id.

Where would I change the home page id? to make the second option work?

Thanks for this help by the way

You don't change it. You find what id WP has already assigned to it.

Log into Admin. Navigate to Pages. Place your mouse over the title of your Home page in the Edit Pages list. A url will appear in the status bar of your browser that ends with &post= followed by a number. That number is the page id for your Home page.
