Blog Posts on Actual Blog Page
-
Hey there! I just created my first blog and have a question about the format. Do my readers have to be actual members of wordpress to view my blogs? I made a front page titled Blog in hopes that when viewing my web page they can go to that menu and see all of my blog posts as I post them however I cannot figure out how to get the posts to show up on the ‘Blog’ page?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

No, not unless the blog is private.
I cannot figure out how to get the posts to show up on the ‘Blog’ page?
This is your home page http://letterstomyblackdaughter.wordpress.com/
This is your Admin dashboard page http://letterstomyblackdaughter.wordpress.com/wp-adminAll support docs are at https://support.wordpress.com/
Type static front page into the search box and click https://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=static+front+page
Results Set a Static “Home” Page (Front Page)
https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
(1) All posts on the front page.
(2) A static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all 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 come to read your latest post, and who are not likely to be happy with being compelled to click through the same static page with the same blah, blah, blah on it every time they visit the blog looking for the latest post.
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. Create your pages first
Front page:
Posts page:
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)
Front page:
Posts page: -
Your detailed theme description page is at https://wordpress.com/themes/goran/ and that’s where set up instructions for it are found. The live demo site is at https://gorandemo.wordpress.com/

Thank you for your help! I am still a little lost, I just created a “front page” titled Blog. I prefer to have my posts on there in chronological order without the use of a static page. I have made one post so far and do not see it on that page?

The front page of your site by default is http://letterstomyblackdaughter.wordpress.com/ and all posts will appear there. Therefore, you do not need a Blogs page at all.
There is no universal setting you can use to change post order.
Blogs are essentially a reverse chronological order publishing tool wherein the most recent published post will display on top. You cannot change this order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. There is no upgrade that allows you to change this post order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. It’s designed to serve your visitors as they come to read the most recent posts and will not be inclined to trawl through hundreds of posts to locate it.
See here for the option of creating a book-like structure > http://en.support.wordpress.com/write-a-book/ Perhaps that will work for you.
Or you could use a single sticky post as an index page > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts
Or you can falsify every date-stamp before publishing.
