          • Posts Page: “My Blog” or “What’s New”
      • Make the duplicate “Home” page invisible
        • We need to use a plugin to do this:
          • Dashboard | Plugins | Advanced Category Excluder
          • Click “Activate”
        • Dashboard | ACE | Pages
          • Select Home in all columns

        • For each page assign a number in the “Order” field in the “Attributes” section
          • Low Number = left
