  Happy New Year! New to WordPress.com (of course). I edited my “About” page a couple of times, and now it does not display at all. “Pages” page states “35 mins ago – Published”. I’m happy to start over/”Empty Blog of All Content” if that would be a quick, simple fix, no worries. Thanks!

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

  Go here > Dashboard > Pages > All Pages to locate the page.
  
  Troubleshooting – My Pages aren’t appearing
  They must be public pages – not private.
  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.

  Go here > Appearance > Menus
  Look at the top box on the far right hand side and select this

  I need to clarify: after I edited a couple of times, the link to “About” no longer appears next to “Home” on the menu bar at the top of the Home page. I have not made any changes to the menus, as I do not know how to do that at this point.

  I followed your directions; however, no matter what I do, the Navigation Label for “About” does not appear next to “Home”, sorry.

  I was afraid that was the case.
