editing my website
-
I’m trying to get my posts to be static pages instead of recent posts. I was watching a video on how to create a website in WordPress, but the video was published in 2013, so the settings have changed. The video says that in order to have static pages, you have to go to the ‘reading’ part of settings, but that doesn’t appear to exist anymore.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You are watching something that applies to wordpress.ORG sites and not to wordpress.COM hosted blogs.
The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also on the bottom of your Admin page.
A blog is a website. The difference between blog and website is simply structure and semantics.
A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. As the posts are frequently updated and appear on the front page of the site it’s very attractive to search engines.
What most people call a website is merely a page based site that functions as a one-way noticeboard. As the structure is page based and as pages are for static content that rarely changes, and as pages do not have RSS feeds, and as others do not backlink to pages, it is not as attractive to search engines as a post based blog structured site is.
Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/
