   Hi All,

   Please forgive me if this has been addressed. But I'm creating a new blog for my Mom. On my blog, when I create a new page "About Me" it shows up as a tab at the top of the home page. But when I created an "About Me" page for my Mom's site, it does not show up as a tab. In fact, when I log on and view the site as a "stranger" I don't see the page at all. Additionally, when I included the social networking share buttons, none of them show up on the home page. They all instead appear on the About me page. So confused! All help is appreciated!

   The blog I need help with is nailsbybonnie.wordpress.com.

   Hello again,
   That blog is wearing a very narrow theme and for some reason or another you have entered a whack of text into a text widget in the the sidebar that ought to be placed on static pages.

   In themes like Sweet Blossoms that do not have horizontal menus for top navigation you have to place a Pages widget in the sidebar in order to display links to any pages you create. Without it your Pages are not accessible to visitors.

   As for the share buttons, if you want them to show on your front page too, you go to Settings > Sharing, check the relevant option, click Save Changes.
