  Can I create non blog pages on wordpress.com? I would like to have landing pages that are of a different template and don’t have any posts on it and then have 1 page that is the blog page.

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

  Because you are only 2 hours old, I’d recommend you work through this tutorial so you will acclimate yourself to how the WordPress.com platform works.

  There is also a lexicon, a sort of dictionary, so you can find out what the various technical terms mean:

  To answer your question, yes, you can have both static pages as well as a dynamic “page” for posts.
  Here is a short article about how posts and pages differ from each other:

  This, however will complicate things:

  If you want your static website to have a different theme from your blog, then you will need to set up 2 different sites.

  Note that a blog is a website with special properties (dynamically changing each time you publish an article; the newest news is first and on top, older material later).

  Your website can include both static pages and a blog, but it will wear only one theme at a time. If you want two themes, then you’ll need 2 sites. They can, however, be linked to each other using custom menus.
