  Is there a way I can restore default settings? I want to keep my site name but I seem to have deleted my homepage and now I have no idea how to set content for reehanochi.wordpress.com #noob. help!

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

  Your homepage is just the blog front: you can’t delete that. What you deleted is the sample “Hello World” post, so your front has no content to display. You either publish a post (in Posts > Add New), or you create an intro page (in Pages > Add New) and set your front to display that page (in Settings > Reading).

  thank you, justpi. I’ve written content for existing WP sites but this is the first time I’ve played around with starting my own. clearly I got in a little over my head in the backend.

  This support document explains how to set the homepage.

  There isn’t a restore default settings option that I know of. Do you need to restore your homepage?
