Sorry For The Newbie Question

Hey everyone, so this is my first post. I have been reading on the forum for a bit now and have learned a good deal but never posted anything before.

So here is my question and I want to apologize first off if I am doing anything I shouldn't. I don't quite know all the rules yet.

I found a domain name I like and have put up a site with wordpress. It is in the drum cymbal niche. After stumbling around and reading a bunch of posts I figured out how to do some things like add buttons that I made with gimp and also how to add amazon widgets and adsense to the site.

I know it is simple basic stuff for many here and as silly as it sounds I am proud of myself because at least I am moving in the right direction.

Anyhow I digress, my issue is I am have that stupid double home page in my navigation bar twice. After looking around online and on here I have an idea of what to do to fix it. It comes down to having a link to the home page in the header.php file under the editor in appearance I believe.

I have tried everything I can think of to get rid of it like using the &include function I think it is called. And even deleting the link to home but after saving and refreshing, nothing seems to work.

Sorry for the long post but if anyone sees this and would be willing to help me real quick it would be awesome.

I hope I am doing this right. I dont' want to be spamming a URL. Here is the link: Cymbal Percussion - Learn All About The Various Types Of Cymbals

And like I said if I did anything wrong please let me know.

P.S. Would also love any input about what I can do different on the site to make it look better. Just keep in mind this is my very first of many.

Thanks alot everyone
Andrew

    My guess is that the menu is structured kind of like the default 2010 theme.

    In the Admin under Appearance Options on the left, is the a Menus link?
    Did you use this to set up the menu?

    Chances are the Home page is added by default, so if this is what you used, just remove the Home page link in that menu.

    If not I can point you to a plug-in to fix it.

      Lol wow yeah that was it thanks a ton. I now feel completely stupid. If I had a thanks button I would use it.

      The theme is VeraMag but that doesn't really matter. Anyhow I am going to let this sit for a little while and add content to it overtime. Mostly this was my testing website so I just added adsense to it and yesterday I made my first money online ever.

      It was only $1.30 HAHA but now I can only go up I guess.

      Thanks again.

          Hmm, I read the FAQ but maybe I missed if it said when I could post links. I just typed in the address of my site and it worked. But I will make sure I post a few more times before I put my link in again.

          Oh well maybe it was a fluke.
