    Can you tell me what I have done that has created the glitch that prevents the viewer from returning to my Blog page? When the site opens up initially, the blog can be viewed and read. If the viewer switches pages to view ‘About Me’ or ‘Home’ and then tries to return to the blog, the viewer is given a message, ‘Oops! That page can’t be found….. ‘ I’d like to correct the error if possible. Is this my problem or a WordPress problem?

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

    Every theme has a detailed theme description page with set up instructions like this one https://wordpress.com/themes/goran/ and a live demo site like this one https://gorandemo.wordpress.com/

    re: the front page error message found on every new .wordpress.com blog

    There is nothing wrong with your blog.

    By default, the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post, not a page, the error message will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

    This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
    (1) All posts on the front page.
    (2) A static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page.

    By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors, who come to read your latest post, and who are not likely to be happy with being compelled to click through the same static page with the same blah, blah, blah on it every time they visit the blog looking for the latest post.

    However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts. To do that create two pages first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

    After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.

    A static page (select below)
