This is the result of clicking your username link:
incidentreportor.wordpress.com is no longer available.
The authors have deleted this blog.If you are referring to a self hosted WordPress.ORG install then the codex applies and you are posting to the wrong support forum for your software. You must post here > http://wordpress.ORG/support/
If you are referring to a free hosted WordPress.com blog then the codex does not apply and you are posting to the correct sup[port forum. What applies for free hosted by WordPress.com blogs is found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/
I recommend that you read > WordPress.COM cs WordPress.ORG: The differences > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ -

This is not a theme related issue. We create static front pages the same way on all themes and the instructions are at the link I provided above > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

Hi timethief,
I followed the instructions on the support page you linked me to and now I have two home page tab and a post tab that I don’t want.
I also tried reading this to hide one of my home page tab, but found the support page not helpful. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/hide-pages/
Also, I updated my account information, but it isn’t updating correctly.
So here is my site.

Several themes have a special header tab, usually “Home” and tab is hard-coded into the theme: you cannot edit or remove it (except in the few cases noted) here > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/05/06/the-home-tab/
If you do not wish to change themes then the solution is to create a custom menu and include in that menu only what you want to include. Staff have provided help for those who want to structure their blog like a website. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/ You must comprehend fully the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
The instructions for creating a custom menu are found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ -
Hurray!
I got it to work. Thanks timethief for your help.
I just kept messing around with the “parent attribute” and it worked. Not sure exactly what parent attribute function means, but it helped me get the job done. -
