  i cant create a home page
  following the instructions from here https://learn.wordpress.com/bonus-round-get-a-home-page/#get , once I label a new page as say, HOME, when I try the next step (add another page) I am asked if i really want to leave this site. The HOME and BLOG pages show up as drafts, i found that by accident, then what do I do with them? This is all new to me and in spite of the instructions telling me how easy it is it seems pretty complex. I can post Blogs (i think) but the home page is getting the best of me and i wouldnt know it if i saw it.

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

  Now that you have those two pages created, you need to publish them. Once they’re published, you should be able to make your Home page the static page you use as home for the website. This is done inside the WP Admin dashboard under Settings. Are you able to reach that area or are you still working inside the new editor?

  I think it was the publish part i was missing. i wasnt sure if i should publish it or if there was another step i was missing. I can reach the WP admin. Thank you so much for your help. Steve
