  I just posted my first post on my blog and on the front page all that is there is the title and a link to another page where you can read my post… how do you make so that you can just read the post on the front page instead of having to go to another page???

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

  Not all blog themes are designed to display full posts on the front page of the blog.

  You can choose a theme that does not automatically display excerpts of the front page. See here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=17#post-1396410

  If you have a theme that does display full posts on the front page then do NOT insert the more tag into your posts.

  Or you can use a theme that does automatically display excerpts of the front page, but use the excerpt function and the Text (HTML) editor to override the excerpt being displayed and display the whole post.

  You compose your whole post first and before you publish it you switch to the HTML (Text) editor, copy the code, paste it into the Excerpt box below the editor, and publish the post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/excerpts/#creating-excerpts
  This will have to be done on every post.
