  I created a post (called HOME), thinking that this would be my homepage. I cannot edit my home page. How can I copy the HOME post on to my homepage?

  MANY thanks!!!

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

  Howdy! Just popping in to confirm that due to Hatch’s design it will only display 8 posts on the home page, regardless of the settings in Settings -> Reading.

  (The Customizer will display differently because it doesn’t display with Infinite Scroll.)

  I hope this clears things up!

  If you don’t see the Featured Image module on your Add New or Edit Post page, please make sure you’ve selected Featured Image in your Screen Options. http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options

  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. 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 for each one and then click “save changes”.
