 * Hi everyone, when you do a search for my site in google, in doesn’t come up with
   the exact link to the site just with tags for “josh pedersen” or “mw2-montages”.
   I have set ‘page links to’ on one page called home which redirects to the “News”
   category which then I have set that redirected page as the static front page.
 * Can anyone me? Regards, Josh (aged 14)

 * Hi, I’m not sure exactly what you are trying to achieve.

 * Do you mean that Google doesn’t simply show [http://www.joshpedersen.co.uk?](http://www.joshpedersen.co.uk?)
   This is beacause that address redirects to [http://www.joshpedersen.co.uk/posts/news](http://www.joshpedersen.co.uk/posts/news)
 * You seem to have a weird navigational set up – your Home page has exactly the
   same posts as your Blog page.
 * In the Reading section of your admin settings, changing ‘Front page displays’
   to ‘latest posts’ would have produced the same effect, plus joshpedersen.co.uk
   would usually appear in Google SERPs, and you wouldn’t need a redirect.
