  I am trying to delete what’s on my home page, and putting something else on my home page. What is on my home page I want to put on the second page. I tried going to Settings – Reading to create a static page (front page), but it didn’t work. Any ideas?

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

  You can reduce the number of posts shown down to just 1 or 2 and then write new posts.

  You know the difference between posts and pages? http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
