Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here). I don’t know how to get rid of it or moive my home page there to get rid of the problem. Can someone help? It looks terrible wwhen someone go to the site and see a blank page telling you Not Found.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Not to worry. 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/

P.S. Creating a whack of static Pages like you have done will fail to get much search engine attention. There is no automatic way to do this but I would copy and paste all the text you have in individual Pages into Posts, and then delete the Pages.

Well I think that would create a problem because of the photos embedded in the articles, for some reason you can’t copy and paste photos, they can only be entered by the media method. What’s the advantage of posts over the pages for each stroy?

If you uploaded the images into your Media Library that’s not an issue. Search engines are attracted to sites that are frequently updated with unique content in POSTS that cannot be found elsewhere on the internet.

Pages, which do not have RSS Feeds are for Static content that rarely changes. Examples are: About page, Copyright notice, Contact Page.

Thanks. I got the problem solved. I just copied my home page, opened a post and dropped the home page there and now my home page is at home where it belongs. I just hate when the kids try and sneek out like that.

If you are happy with that then I’m fine with your choice. I would not settled for that. I want traffic lots of traffic from search engines so I have a post based blog structure and will never change that to a static front page on my blogs. Best wishes.

I dont know why blogs are more important, and I don’t have the time to carry on a conversation with someone as I have to much to write about for other sites and publications.
