Social buttons are to share/recommend a page. If they show up on an index page, they won’t link to the post in question, but to the index page as a whole.
If you really wanted to, you could implement this via a child theme, but it would be tricky (if not impossible) to get the results you are looking for.

Please include a link, as per the forum rules, so we can take a closer look.
An idea: try changing
.type-page .post-title {to
h2 .post-title {This is what Firebug describes.

I’m glad that works for you. An intellectual challenge–the best kind of them all!
I will have to spend some more time on your blog when I get the chance.
Glad to help. Your site looks great!

In reply to: 1) Adding a 'Home' option to a custom menu and 2) header image URL
August 15, 2011 at 5:43 pm #16245Second issue first:
Find line 120 in “header.php”. It should look like this:
<?php echo '<'.$title_tag; ?> <?php echo $style; ?> class="header_title">
<a <?php echo $style; ?> href="<?php echo home_url(); ?>"
title="<?php esc_attr_e('Go back to the front page', 'graphene'); ?>">
<?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></<?php echo $title_tag; ?>>I’m no PHP expert (so this may not work), but see where it says
href="<?php echo home_url(); ?>"? Change that tohref="http://www.newaddress.com/"First issue second:
I had this issue as well. If you are using a custom menu, yes, you can add a custom link to the home page to that custom menu. It’s fairly straightforward. If you aren’t using a custom menu for the navigation, it just shows up as the first link, before the links to all your pages. See my personal blog for an example.

Okay, first things first.
The “About the Author” is supposed to be very short, like this:
Kenneth John Odle is the well-known Canadian author of the best-selling book Monetize Your Pets. He invented wine, the question mark, and that little plastic thing on the end of your shoelace. His blog is “…in some weird postmodern way…” which can be read at blog.kjodle.net.
It is not meant to detract from the post content.
Second, the page you link to above is, well, a page, isn’t it? How did you create it? (I admit, there are some very basic things about WordPress that I am completely ignorant about simply because I don’t use them. Please teach us, or at least point us in the right direction.)
Third, you have a few alternatives here:
1) Just use short author bios like I mentioned above.
2) Use the plugin mentioned in the WordPress support forum post you linked to.
3) Create a series of pages, one for each of your authors. (You can include links and photos, as well.)
4) Add a request to the Feature Requests portion of this forum to include an option that will allow certain tags not to be stripped out of the author info, in much the same way that we can choose which tags are not stripped out of excerpts. (This may be incredibly difficult or it may be incredibly easy. I just don’t know.)
If you choose #4, I will add my voice to that request, because if you look at the entirely facetious example I gave above, the title of the book I mentioned really should be in italics, and it would be nice to actually link to a real page, like this:
Kenneth John Odle is the well-known Canadian author of the best-selling book Monetize Your Pets. He invented wine, the question mark, and that little plastic thing on the end of your shoelace. He blogs at …in some weird postmodern way…
I’m not going to make this feature request myself because this is not on my list of priorities, but if you request it, I will support it.

The homepage has posts, but all the other pages of the site are just pages and will not have posts on them.
Not sure what this means. Pages and posts are two separate entities, at least as far as WordPress is concerned. See this page from the Codex for clarification.
This is the custom permalink structure I chose /%monthnum%/%day%/%year%/%page%/%postname%/
There is no “%page%” tag for permalinks. See this page from the Codex for a list of permalink tags.
Do you think that is causing the issue with the leave comment function on the posts? If so, is there anything that you can suggest that I may want to try to get the function to work properly.
Well, if WordPress can’t figure whether you’re dealing with a page/post/something else, that may be the cause. I’ve never seen your issue before, so I’m not entirely sure what is going on here. Let me know what you come up with and we’ll keep working on this. (Sometimes the problem you see is not the problem you have.)

@font-faceis not something that is supported by a theme or any other coding. It is (or isn’t) supported by a given browser.You can include it in your child theme; if your browser doesn’t render it correctly, it’s because the browser you are using doesn’t support it. Try another browser.
Keep in mind, if you don’t have any browsers that support it, chances are your readers won’t either.
