About Me Page

I created a write up for my About Me static page but when i go to my page, it doesn’t show up. Where did it go?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It appears that you created a category rather than a page.
https://laurakseibel.wordpress.com/category/about-me/about-me-about-me/You have two choices on any blog
(1) All posts on the front page.
(2) A static front page and 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 will not be happy to have to click through an About page every time they visit your blog as they come to read your most recently published content. Creating that situation can make some visitors annoyed – so annoyed that they stop following your blog.
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 all published posts (not pages) to display on in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top.
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 for each page and click “save changes”.
A static page (select below)

Thank you for your response! I prefer option one, to have all my posts on the front page but my About Me page isn’t supposed to be a normal blog post. I thought it was considered a static page. I’ve rather it not show up on the front page of my blog, I only want it show up under the About Me section. Also, when I go to my website and click About Me, the write up isn’t there and I can’t find it anywhere on the site. Where did it go?

re: the front page error message found on every new .wordpress.com blog
Nothing Found
It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.There is nothing wrong with your site. 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 front page error message and searchbox that appears on every new WordPress.COM blog will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
I recommend using the step by step tutorial linked to the bottom of your Admin page https://learn.wordpress.com
See also the “Video Quick Start” tutorial http://en.support.wordpress.com/video-quick-start/
The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also linked to on the bottom of your Admin page.

You made it into a sub-page
https://laurakseibel.wordpress.com/category/about-me/about-me-about-me/See https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
They must be public pages – not private and not drafts.
Public – The page will be visible to everyone.
Protected – The page is protected with a password you set. Only people who have the password can view a protected page.
Private – Pages are only visible to blog Editors and Administrators. Private pages are not visible in Reader, feeds, or in any search. A page can be private without being password protected.
