    This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
    (1) All posts on the front page.
    (2) Or a static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page.

    The front page of every site or Home by default is the URL of the site.

    Every theme has a detailed theme description page like this one is at https://wordpress.com/themes/ixion/ That’s where set up instructions for it are found. The live demo link is there too.

    All support docs are at https://en.support.wordpress.com/

    This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
    (1) All posts on the front page ie. the Home page. By default that is the URL of the site.

    (2) A static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page.

    By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors, who come to read your latest post, and who are not likely to be happy with being compelled to click through the same static page with the same blah, blah, blah on it every time they visit the blog looking for the latest post.

    However, 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. Create your two pages first
    Front page:
    Posts page:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

    After you do that you go to > Dashboard > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

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

    Go to http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php and make the required change.

    *Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in the URL above with the actual name of your blog.

    Front page displays
    Save changes
    __ Your latest posts

    Go to the detailed theme description page at https://wordpress.com/theme/gateway. That page outlines how the theme is designed to function and how to set it up and has a link to the live demo site as well.

    We cannot alter how any theme is designed to function, we can only make some appearance changes if we have the Premium or Business upgrade that provides for some limited CSS editing.

    See here for details on purchasing an annually renewable Premium or Business plan https://wordpress.com/pricing/ that contains a custom design upgrade required for CSS editing.

    Custom design – Frequently Asked Questions such as: I’m not sure if Customize is right for me. Can I try before I buy?

    Note 1: If you have the required upgrade you can use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can create a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need with CSS editing.

    Note 2: You can also post there prior to purchasing an upgrade to get an answer to whether or not what you want to do can be accomplished via CSS editing.
