Blog Posts Page
-
I’m hoping to change the format of one of my pages without paying for a feature. Right now, I am using the Toujours theme.
One of my pages reads “blog posts” and hosts all of my blogs. The way it displays my posts is: I choose which article to show, and it displays the entire post, then at the end of the post, there are arrows to display next or display previous posts.
I would like to format the page to show all of the posts instead of one at a time. Is this possible to do without requiring premium or changing the entire theme?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you set up a static front page and a Blogs page correctly all published posts will display one after the other on the Blogs page automatically after publication.
WordPress.COM is a turnkey blogging platform with off the shelf themes. Each one is uniquely designed and one cannot make any changes to the way the theme is designed to function.
Every theme has a detailed theme description page like this one is at https://wordpress.com/themes/toujours/ That’s where set up instructions for it are found. The live demo site is at https://toujoursdemo.wordpress.com/
This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
(1) All posts on the front page ie. the Home page. By default that is the URL of the site.(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 two pages first
Front page:
Posts page:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/After you do that you go to > Dashboard > 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:Go to http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php and make the required change.
*Replace NAME_OF_BLOG with the actual name of your blog.
Front page displays
Save changes

Hi @apalmertraveler!
It looks like the Blog Posts link in your menu is pointing to a specific post, and not your actual Posts Page.
To fix that, visit My Site > Menus.
Click on the pencil next to Blog Posts, and choose Page, then pick your Blog Posts page.
Hit OK, and save your menu and you should be good to go :)
