  Hello.

  i am new to blogging and was setting up the home page and another content page. I ended up deleting them both and when I tried to redo them I cannot find the “Front Page Displays” buttons for the Front page and post page, in Settings>>>Reading page, so that I can set a static home page.

  The reason I deleted them was because they did not show up in the option for static or post pages when I clicked on the Static Page button. So I thought it was a glitch and deleted the pages, thinking I would redo them. But when I went to find the “Front Page Displays” buttons, they cannot be found, as explained above.

  How do I get the Front Page Display settings back, so that I set a static home page?

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

  The front page of the blog by default will display your posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. 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 > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  Front page displays
  __ Your latest posts

  A static page (select below)

  the trouble is, when I go to the Reading page there is nothing to click to make the designation change. That is the problem.

  I can create 2 different pages, but there is no way to designate one of them as the home page.

  Also, do I need to have a them chosen yet? I have looked at them but don’t know what to choose. If I choose one, can I change it later, if I don’t like the options it has?

  What is the best theme(s) that allow posting of embedded youtube video, as well as images?
