  Not all of my pages are showing up in the dashboard. When I created this new blog there were automatically 2 pages, 1 of which appeared in dashboard, is editable, etc. The other is not. How do I get rid of this ghost page???
  p.s. its the “home” page for the create eden blog.
  Blog url: http://createeden2.wordpress.com/

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It is not a ghost page!

  Each blog has one dynamically changing page where your posts appear. It is often called a “home” “front” or “blog” page, but you cannot edit it: it is the basic, essential, dynamic page of a blog where all of your posts or articles appear.

  You can post only to this dynamic “page.” You cannot post to other pages.

  Difference between posts and pages:

  This is very important to understand!

  When you write posts, you can add categories and tags to organize them.
  Pages are for static, unchanging, information, basic facts, list of references, and so on. You cannot add categories or tags to them.

  An explanation from a fellow volunteer’s blog about posting to a page:

  well worth reading…

  You are welcome. Once you grasp the concept of the differences between posts and pages, you are well on your way to becoming a great blogger.
