  Here at WordPress.COM when we publish a post that post automatically appears on the dynamic Archives, Categories and Tags pages – we do nothing.

  You have two choices.
  (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.

  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”.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  A static page (select below)
