Don – You might make sure the function that generates those pages (wp_list_pages()) includes an attribute for sorting them or isn't being over-ridden by a plugin or something else. It's a little hard to say without seeing the back end. You can learn more about wp_list_pages() at http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_lis...

Thanks for the video Scott. I'm having some trouble though. After sorting different pages in the correct order (I also used the 1000, 2000... technique), the pages are sorted properly in the Admin section, but not on the site.

I thought perhaps it was a cache thing, so I opened a different browser but the same order appeared.

How can I correct this?

Thanks a lot Scott for your video. You've explained it very well and I was able to reorder the pages on my site.

What an excellent video. I have read the information, but it didn't make sense to me. You elegant numbering solution really works well. Thanks for sharing this idea.

Gails - I really do do any support through here. You're best bet would be to reach out to the WordPress Pro mailing list (if you have budget, it's for paid projects). Otherwise I'd hit the support forum/website for the template you used. If they don't have one you can try the WordPress.org support form to see if someone can help you.

Hi Scott,
I'm setting up my own blog just as I did my own website, using templates.
I used American Authors.com for the templates and they were available on the phone and were very helpful.
It shouldn't be that difficult. I am a determined person, so I will finally get it. I will keep trying.
I just hoped you could help me. Can you tell me how to set the categories up for display? Or does that cost extra?
Thank you,
GailsSerenity

Gail, That could be any number of things but the odds are you are putting your posts into categories that aren't set to display as you would expect in your theme. I don't provide technical support/changes (for free) so I'd start with getting an explanation from whomever set up your blog. If you can't get anywhere there send me an email and we'll chat.

Choosing the size of your font is part of an art called typography and I am definitely no expert in that field. It also depends on what you are applying it to. Google “learn typography” and you'll get a lot of good hits to look at.
