Hi there!
After looking at your site, are you talking about this image? :
If you are, you can remove that by going to Appearance > Header in your Dashboard. Please go down to Remove Header Image and click the link there. It will look like this:
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Hi Bill,
Are you talking about this? :
That is currently because you set your Front page as your Posts page. Please publish a a Page instead of a Post. Upload that same image to that Page and then set your Front page as that page. You can do this by going to Settings > Reading in your Dashboard.
Here’s a good support document on the different between a page and a post:
Let me know if you have any questions with this!

PLEASE HELP ME get the writing “This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?” off my home page.
Thank you

Hi Bill,
I don’t see that wording anywhere on your site:
Can you talk a screenshot of your display and upload that to your Media > Library page?
You still left your Front page as your latest posts. If you want to fix that please follow the instructions I provided you previously.

Hello Grace
PLEASE GO TO http://www.wwofd.wordpress.com and you will see on my home page “THIS IS SOMEWHAT EMBARRASSING, 1SN’T IT?” I have tried following your instructions but nothing removes these words. “PLEASE HELP ME” Maybe I am not interpreting your direction correctly could you PLEASE be a little more specific PLEASE.
I appreciate your patience and understanding.
Thank you very much

This is what I am seeing:
You are seeing that wording because you did not create a post yet and you set up your Home page as your Latest Posts page. That is why it’s important to create a static Front page instead. Please follow these steps:
1) Log into WordPress.com from this link:
https://wwofd.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
2) Go to Pages > Add new.
3) Title the Page as “Home”. Then click on Add Media and make sure you are in the Media Library Tab at the top as seen here:
Then click on the image of Penguins and insert it into that page. If you don’t want that image there, then just title the page as Home and forget the Add Media part.
4) Then click Publish as seen here:
5) Then go back to Pages > Add new.
6) Title this page “Posts” or “Blog” or whatever you wish. The page will be where all your posts are. If you will not be writing any posts, you can skip this part.
7) Then Publish this page just like you did the Home page if you are using this page.
8) Go to Settings > Reading in your Dashboard and then click “A static page” next to Front Page Displays as seen here:
9) Then in the drop down menu, select Home as your Front page, and set your second Posts/Blog page as the Posts page. If you don’t plan on having a Posts page you can leave that blank.
10) Click Save Changes at the bottom of that page.
Then you should be set and the embarrassing wording will disappear.
Let me know if you have any questions with this!

Hi Grace
Thank you for the reply your directions were very complete I followed them very carefully but the writing is still there what am I doing or did that put me in this mess PLEASE HELP ME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Bill -
That writing is there because you haven’t made a post yet.
Please go to Posts > Add new in your Dashboard and write up your first post.
Once you publish that, the writing should disappear.
Let me know if you have any questions with this!

Hello Grace
I did as you directed BUT THAT WRITING IS STILL THERE. I truly appreciate your patience PLEASE HELP ME.
THANK YOU
Bill -
No worries. Can you please provide me the link URL of the page where you are seeing those words?
I’m unable to find it. So please just copy and paste the link of the page where you are seeing that error.
Thank you!

Hello Grace
Yes more than happy to this is the web address http://www.wwofd.wordpress.com and I will also give you any adminstrator address and pass word so you can get into my account and please walk me thru fixing it. HOW DID THAT EXTRA PAGE GET THERE AND HOW DO I EDIT IT?
http://www.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?redirected_to=https%3A%2F%wordpress.com%2F
Thank you very much

Hi Bill,
I am not seeing that wording as seen in this screenshot:
I do not need your username/password – I can view your Dashboard from my end :).
What extra page are you seeing? I’m a bit confused as to what is going on. If you are talking about the Wonderful World of Dancing page, I see that you published in on June 19th:
https://wwofd.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page
If you see that wording still, please send me a screenshot, so I can better understand the issue. You can simply upload the screenshot to your Media Library, like any other image, and I’ll be able to access it from there.
The page at the following link has some helpful tips for taking screenshots:

HI Bill,
As I mentioned before I do not need your username and password. It has been about a minute since you posted this past response, and I have erased that information. But, just as a pre-caution please reset your password immediately.

I have complete access to your Dashboard. If you want to edit your Front page, all you have to do is go here:
https://wwofd.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=115&action=edit
That will let you edit your Front page.
