  I am looking to customize my home page with a layout similar to the demo for ‘Organization’ template on the WordPress.com site (e.g. Banner image at the top followed by 3 columns of content (image + text + Learn more link). Can you give me a simple formula for recreating that on my WordPress.com site?

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

  Hi there – That is the “Home Page” page template. To set this up, you’ll need to create a new, blank page (title it something like “home”) and choose that template for it in the Page Attributes module:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/

  Then, go to Settings->Reading here, and choose that page for your front page in the Static page option at the top:

  You can choose another page for your posts page. More about how to set up a static front page here:
