Hi,
Why are there two 'Home' pages in this video (when adding the custom menu) when there is only one 'Home' page in WordPress? And, how do you know which one to use? In the video Zac's is called 'Home: Home' but in my install I only have two 'Home' pages.
Thanks. Stephen.

Treehouse Guest TeacherOne is a default link that will link to the homepage regardless of what page or template is being used as the homepage.
The other one is likely a page you created called Home and also have set to work as the homepage. This link will also link to the homepage, but is different than the home link mentioned above.
If you created another page named Home, you would likely then have 3 options to link to a "Home" page.
