  I was mucking around with my pages and somehow “lost” my main blog post page. If I share something the link comes up – for eg https://unsworthk.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/extended-deadline-jedem-special-issue-on-co-production-and-open-innovation-20-september/

  But I somehow made this page invisible on my actual site – https://unsworthk.wordpress.com/

  Any ideas?

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

  You have two choices on any blog
  (1) All posts on the front page.
  (2) A static front page and 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 will not be happy to have to click through an About page every time they visit your blog as they come to read your most recently published content. Creating that situation can make some visitors annoyed – so annoyed that they stop following your blog.

  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 all published posts (not pages) to display on in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top.

  To do that create two pages first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

  After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change for each of the two page and click “save changes”.
  A static page (select below)
  Front page:
  Posts page:

  The guide is here http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  re: my pages aren’t appearing

  Please see https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ first.
  They must be public pages – not private and not drafts.
  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.
