  Why am I still receiving an error message even though I’ve cleared the cache, cookies, and have two posts on there already? No one can see the posts unless I send them direct links.

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

  Whoops — four oh four
  It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching will help.

  Did you know that as soon as you publish a post not a page the error message will be gone? http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  On the bottom of your Admin page you will find a link to the Learn WordPress.com blogging Tutorial prepared by Staff. http://learn.wordpress.com/

  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.

  You changed the front page of the blog from http://helpmeholdyouup.wordpress.com/ to your About page http://helpmeholdyouup.wordpress.com/about/ and failed to create a page for your posts to appear on.

  Your About page is a static page where a brief biography and a blog description can be entered.

  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. To do that create two pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

  After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
