  I have several articles I’ve written but 3 of them are showing on my home page at one time. Also, one of them only shows at the top of the actual blog page but shows no where else on my lists??!!! I’m soooo confused. I know almost nothing about what goes on with computers now-a-days!! I need (a little bit of) personal help!

  I’d suggest you work your way through this tutorial to get yourself oriented to using WordPress.com:
  http://learn.wordpress.com/

  One other suggestion is that rather than post your email address on your public blog, you should use a contact form. Spam bots can easily collect your email addy and you’ll be overwhelmed by unwanted messages.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/

  The same goes for telephone number. I removed the phone number in your post above for your protection. This is a public forum. Also note that none us us volunteers answer questions via phone or email.

  All three of your posts are showing on your front page, just as they should. That is how a blog works: the posts are in reverse chronological order with the newest latest one on top, earlier posts below.

  All three of your posts are listed in both your recent posts widget and the archives widget.

  Your posts won’t (automatically) appear in your navigation bar up top. They are on your home page. It’s important to know the difference between what a post is and how it is different from a page.

  Pages vs. Posts
