  I been trying to figure out how I can add content on my home page on my blog. For some reason the home page doesn’t show up when I view all my pages in my dashboard.

  How can I reach my home page?

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

  Your home page is where your posts are. So far you have only 1 post.

  The tab you have labeled “blog” is a static page. You can not post to a static page. Those pages are meant for information that doesn’t change very often, whereas your home page is a dynamic page that changes every time you add a post (article, blog, or whatever you want to call the writing that is the heart of your blog).

  Pages and posts are very different:

  To organize your blog into different topics, use categories:

  Home is a pre-coded page that sends you to your opening page, you can’t edit it.

  If you want your visitors to be greeted with a specific page of information make a new page and set the opening page to static and make a blank page for your blog posts and have your posts displayed there.

  You have a static Page titled Blog here http://picturealert.wordpress.com/blog/
  If you want to have your posts appear on that page then you must change the settings here > Settings > Reading
