  I can change the names of other pages on my site, but not the Home page. I want the Home page, which is really just a blog, to be called “Blog” and the Welcome to SH101 page to be the Home page. How do I do that?

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

  re: static front page
  You have two choices on any blog
  (1) All posts on the front page.
  (2) A static front page and posts on a different page.

  By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors.

  However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for all published posts (not pages) to display on in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top.

  To do that create two pages first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

  After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
  A static page (select below)
  Front page:
  Posts page:
