  Your home page is where your posts will appear in reverse chronological order.
  It looks as though you are writing articles for your site:
  blog |Oversea Tour |Up Coming
  But you have put your articles on individual pages rather than publishing them as posts on your blog.

  Here is how you publish posts on your home page:
  dashboard—>posts—>add new—>write an article—>publish

  You cannot edit the home page itself, at least not the way you can edit other pages. This is because it is a special kind of “page” with automatically changes each time you publish a post.

  Here is some information about how posts and pages are different:

  If you don’t want your home page to show your posts, then you can make the home page into a static page, for example as an introduction to your site. Then choose another page to show your posts:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  Because you are a new blogger, let me recommend that you work through this useful tutorial to get acquainted with the WordPress.com platform:
