  I am using the “pool” theme and the first page that comes up automatically is “blog”. I do not want this page to be the first page that people see so how do i move it down the list of pages? I cant even seem to find a place where i can make changes to this page like on the rest of the pages that i made so i cant just number it.

  You can do this by creating a static page and then setting your blog to link to the new page when you click on “Home”

  The tutorial is here: http://faq.wordpress.com/2007/02/20/having-a-static-page-at-the-front-of-the-blog/

  This page is the equivalent of the “Home” page of some other themes: it’s built into the theme, and you cannot interfere with it. If you don’t like it, you can switch to another theme (there’s nothing special about Pool anyway).

  I didn’t know that…never used pool. Other great themes anyway.
