Another problem is I went in dashboard to edit my tabs just below my blog title but its putting up titles to me posts instead of- home, about me, etc.

You don't fully understand how to create a custom menu. The post I linked to above will clarify that for you.

i followed the instructions and started editing catergories but it wont go in the order im editing it to. Its also not coming up on my page.

That's not enough information to provide an answer.

1. Until you publish a post in any category there is no data that can be displayed by the Categories widget or by the dynamic Category page which is created by the software only when you publish a post.

but it wont go in the order im editing it to

categories on dynamic Category pages and in Categories widgets are displayed in alphabetical order.

This is NOT a dynamic Category page > http://worldfullofbeauty.wordpress.com/contemplations/ it is a static page that cannot update with new content.

There are many common errors, misunderstanding and misconceptions when creating custom menus and you can read about them here > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/custom-menus/

Hi im having more problems with my blog i followed the instructions and started editing catergories but it wont go in the order im editing it to. Its also not coming up on my page.

Another problem is I went in dashboard to edit my tabs just below my blog title but its putting up titles to me posts instead of- home, about me, etc.

I think its because i changed my theme four days ago so maybe that has something to do with it? dont know.

Ignoring them is not the best option. Reporting is the best option; I get entire websites taken down all the time.

Thanks so much for your help timethief it really helped me :)
dont mean to but in but timethief your so right about that, it was on the news about cyber bullies and spam etc. What the professionals said was ignoring them was the best effective option and the only option.

And also reporting them if the particular website had those procedures in place, so hope this helps.

That's why I tagged this thread for Staff to remove that childish spam. However, in the case of spammers it's best to simply flag the thread for Staff attention as I did and fail to engage the spammer. They thrive on engagement and they wither up bugger off when they are ignored.
