  WordPress.com does not provide an email service for blogs on their subdomains or on custom domains. Please see these support docs:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/add-email/
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-forwarding/

  Every theme has a detailed theme description page with set up instructions like this one https://wordpress.com/themes/twentyfifteen/ and a live demo site like this one https://twentyfifteendemo.wordpress.com/

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

  There is nothing wrong with your blog.

  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/

  For creating a post in the New editor see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#publish-a-new-post
  For creating a page in the new editor see here
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/#create-a-new-page

  For editing in the new editor see:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/edit-pages-screen/

  On the bottom of your Admin page you will find a link to the step by step Learn WordPress.com blogging Tutorial prepared by Staff. http://learn.wordpress.com/

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

  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/
