error message

I keep getting an error message on my blog page tab that says ‘that page can’t be found.’ I am sure that I have tripped onto a setting and messed up something but can’t figure how to fix it. Help!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
(1) All posts on the front page.
(2) A static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all 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, who come to read your latest post, and who are not likely to be happy with being compelled to click through the same static page with the same blah, blah, blah on it every time they visit the blog looking for the latest post.
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 posts. Create your pages first
Front page:
Posts page:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/After you do that you go to > Dashboard > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.

I apologize for the breech in etiquette in creating a new thread.
While I don’t wish to frustrate you with my obvious ignorance of this entire process, I still cannot find a way to resolve the error. All of the information is helpful but none of it tells me why I still am getting an error on that page. I have changed numerous options without a resolution What am I missing?

thank you for your help with this. I am making every effort that I can to figure this out but have been unsuccessful.
One further question, I noticed today that the blog entry that I completed and posted last night is showing an earlier date than when I posted it. Could this be why I am getting a “page not found” error? -
Maybe so.
The default timezone is UTC time. You can reset your timezone here > Settings > General Select the closest city to you in the same timezone in the drop-down menu you see there and then click “save changes”.
Edit the post, change the datestamp in the Publish module, and click Update.
All Posts are found here > Dashboard > Posts > All Posts
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php
*replace “/NAME_OF_BLOG” with the actual name of your blogYou hover over the title of the post and click the Edit link, then edit the datestamp in the Publish module and click update.
Note that you can examine these images so you see how to edit posts and change datestamps and timestamps where required.

Hi there,
I don’t see the Page Not Found error on your site. Did changing the time zone help?
If you’re still seeing that message, please give me the exact link at which you see it and I can take a look.

Hi there,
I think I figured it out after a while. I certainly have learned a lot.
Thanks for responding.
