I'm new to Carrington, and find it very confusing, so I was hoping
someone could point me in the right direction. I've read the readme
files over and over, and still don't understand it.
All I'm trying to do is make the Posts page my Home Page. If you go to
the site it goes to the Blog, but I can't make the "Home" tab go back
to the Blog posts. http://awelldressedhome.com/test/
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Check your wordpress general settings. Is home or front page set to a specific page as opposed to the latest posts?

It's set to display "Your latest posts".

Check your plugins or maybe your permalinks. All of your links have a query ? attached to them and Home is querying a page. I'm assuming you've checked your actual php code, right? Are you using the list_pages template tag? Do you have a Home "page" created? I think list_pages has a variable/parameter that creates a "home" link. Or was that list_categories? Forgot. But I think you have a "Home" page created and its being listed and thus throwing you off from an actual home link.

Below is the code in my header-default.php file that shows the
wp_list_pages. See anything wrong?
Why wouldn't it create a "Home" tab on my navigation? There is no
"Home" page in my pages.
Thanks,

I just looked at your test website and there's no Home navigation button anymore unlike the first time. Your code says you're using wp_list_pages now, and after checking the Codex, wp_list_pages doesn't have a "home" parameter (unlike wp_page_menu).
But what were you using before? What was the original code?
You can either manually add a "home" <li> to wp_list_pages or you can use wp_page_menu.
