Right, that’s the exact reason why I think I’ll leave this discussion. It seems that your “home” is a “page”, but somehow it is (indeed) also a “post”. I don’t know if this is a 2.0 issue or not. The same as with comments. There can be comments on pages just as well as on posts, but maybe not in 2.0? Maybe your “settings” “discussion” (or whereever it is hidden) has an option, or you can allow comments when editing the page (like it is now). Just post some test posts and put some text in the pages, that might make it easier to see what’s what.
But the archives and author/date thing worked I see?
[edit]: I mostly replied to Ivovic (you hit the “answer” button a bit faster than myself), but I think that there are only ‘smaller’ issues left, right?
Sara, with nothing but the best intentions, I seriously suggest that you switch hosts.
investigate wordpress.com – make an account, take one of their blogs for a test ride, it won’t cost you anything… and if you like it, you can switch for less money than you’re paying now.
alternately, investigate hosts which offer cpanel and fantastico with the latest wp version. Some of them advertise right here: http://wordpress.org/hosting/
The reason I say that is that wordpress support is volunteer based. The software is free, and so nobody makes any money for supporting you. It’s just people who use wordpress who come here to answer questions for folks like you – and if you’re living in the distant past when it comes to wordpress versions, it will make it very hard to get help.
