    Hello,

    Can you help me restore the blog page to “All Pages?” I can only see it in the Apperance-Menus option.

    Second help point…

    I would like the page marked as home to be the home page. Currently the blog seems to be the home page.

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

    Hello Jim!

    I’m not sure what you mean when you say “Restore the blog page to “All Pages.” Can you be more specific what you’d like to do, or what exactly is not looking right for you?

    As for identifying a home page, the easiest way to make this a page other than your blog roll would be log into your blog Dashboard. Once there, on the left hand side, you’ll want to hover over “Appearance,” and then click “Customize” in the sub-menu. This will take you to your customization page.

    Here, you can click on “Front” on the right-hand side, which will allow you to switch around which page is the first page to greet visitors.

    Are your referring to Pages or to Posts? The two are not the same http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
    The front page of the blog by default will display your posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. The only way that can be changed is by setting a static front page.
    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 > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.

    Front page displays
    __ Your latest posts

    A static page (select below)
    Front page:
    Posts page:

    If that’s not what you mean and you are referring to Pages and you have other Pages that are not displaying I suggest you go to > Dashboard > Pages > All Pages and hover over the Page titles then click “edit” and check the page visibility settings in the Publish module.

    Troubleshooting – My Pages aren’t appearing
    They must be public pages – not private.
    Public – The page will be visible to everyone.
    Protected – The page is protected with a password you set. Only people who have the password can view a protected page.
    Private – Pages are only visible to blog Editors and Administrators. Private pages are not visible in Reader, feeds, or in any search. A page can be private without being password protected.

    If you created a custom menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ then you can add Pages to it and create the order you want.
