  A blog is a website. The difference between blog and website is simply structure and semantics.

  A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. As the posts are frequently updated and appear on the front page of the site it’s very attractive to search engines.

  What most people call a website is merely a page based site that functions as a one-way noticeboard. As the structure is page based and as pages are for static content that rarely changes, and as pages do not have RSS feeds, and as others do not backlink to pages, it is not as attractive to search engines as a post based blog structured site is.

  Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

  re: the front page error message found on every new .wordpress.com blog

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

  There is nothing wrong with your site. 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 front page error message and search box that appears on every new WordPress.COM blog will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  I recommend using the step by step tutorial linked to the bottom of your Admin page at https://learn.wordpress.com

  See also the “Video Quick Start” tutorial http://en.support.wordpress.com/video-quick-start/

  The only relevant support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also linked to on the bottom of your Admin page.

  Every theme has a detailed theme description page with set-up instructions and a live demo site. For example your theme-specific details and set up instructions for Twenty Sixteen are at https://wordpress.com/themes/twentysixteen/ and the live demo site is here https://twentysixteendemo.wordpress.com/
