I love sports and cooking worked in foodservice for over 20 years. I look at this as a excellent chance to learn more about computers and what can be accomplished with them.

To be sure, try to carefully follow these steps one more time: 1. Look at the menu on the left of your WordPress admin panel 2. Click on “Pages” (**not “Posts”**) 3. Click on “Add new” 4. To simplify, **write “Home” (and nothing else)** in the title field 5. Write the text that you mentioned above in the text area 6. Do not add any image for now, let’s keep it simple 7. Then click the “Publish” blue button on the right * Let me know when you’ve completed these steps and then I’ll tell you how to set this page as your new home page * Thread Starter [Bgordon3051](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bgordon3051/) * (@bgordon3051) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-url-29/#post-6794275) * Sorry Sir I re did the page but now on it the (I am Byron Gordon) part is really what is in my simple author box but I can not get it to display. I typed it in But I need it to show up in the author box please * [Federico Andrioli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fedeandri/) * (@fedeandri) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-url-29/#post-6794276) * Hi Byron, you did a good job! The easiest thing to do to add your author box again is to write the content of that box directly above (or below, based on your preference) the content you already put on that page. * I know it can be frustrating in the beginning, because there are a lot of new concepts and techniques to learn, but once you understand the basics, WordPress becomes a very powerful tool and a pretty fun one too:) * While you keep improving your website, I suggest you to start watching these videos that cover all the needed information to build a WordPress website from scratch * Thread Starter [Bgordon3051](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bgordon3051/) * (@bgordon3051) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-url-29/#post-6794319) * Sir on my web page my web form to not display(fully) all of my text. * Thread Starter [Bgordon3051](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bgordon3051/) * (@bgordon3051) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-url-29/#post-6794323) * Sir on my web page my web form to not display(fully) all of my text.
