  Why won’t my blog post appear under the main heading blog (which doesn’t itself respond to a click.
  Why aren’t the buttons showing on all pages. At the moment they show only on the CONTACT page, which is the least relevant.

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

  Hi sallyforestgoodbooks,

  It looks like you only joined WordPress.com a week ago. Welcome! You’ll find that many volunteers are available to assist (and of course staff to, if needed).

  If you wish to post your blog post under the heading ‘BLOG’, then you’ll need to complete two steps (if you haven’t already). First, you’ll need to add a category to your post (e.g. blog) and then update the settings. To review how to add categories, please see https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/.

  From there, you’ll want to customize your menu again and add that specific category (e.g. blog) to it and delete the previous ‘blog’ tab. You can read more here – https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/

  As for the social media buttons, you can discover how to add them to your pages/posts here – https://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/. As some of your pages aren’t showing it, you may have disabled them accidentally.

  Here’s how to you would have disabled, do the opposite to enable. :) https://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/#disabling-sharing-likes-on-specific-posts

  Let me know if this was helpful or if you need more assistance,
  James
