Is it possible to change the name of a blog after publishing?
Also, how do you determine home page? Another subpage keeps coming up as the lead (home) page.

1. To change the name of your blog, you go to Settings>General. (Or do you mean the title of your posts?)
2. Your home page currently displays your latest posts, not a subpage. What would you like it to display?
This is helpful. I want to change the blog name. Will try your suggestion.
I didn't realize the home page was the latest post. I thought it should display a general greeting and explanation of what the blog is about.
I'm also confused about what lists in the top menu. I would have thought categories would be there but they are not. Why is there a home page if in fact the home page is the last post? Just a bit confused here - just getting started.
Thanks
- Categories are usually displayed in the sidebar. In most themes with top navigation, the tabs are links to your static pages, with or without a home tab as well. See here:

- The purpose of the home tab is for returning to your front after landing anywhere else (e.g. a single complete post, a static page, or a category page).
- By default, your front displays your latest posts (number of posts to show set in Settings>Reading). But it can be made to display a static page (e.g. a "greeting" page). See here:

Excellent, thank you.
Blog title - It is the actual name of the blog site I want to change - the URL. Is this doable?
No. You can set your present blog to private (Settings>Privacy) and register a new one with the URL you prefer.
