  front page and static page is not working! Do I work from the draft in starting a webpage or do I have to publish 1st. The brief how-to instructions in the help menu is of no help.
  anyone feeling free to email a response to (email visible only to moderators and staff) would be helpful, thanks.

  We Volunteers don’t provide email support.

  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 first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

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

  Set the Homepage

  Nothing Found
  It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.

  By default the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post not a page the error message will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
