  I am a newbie with WordPress. I have created a static first page, and want it to go to a blog. For the blog, I have created and published several posts – but don’t know how to link them to the first page.

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

  re: the front page error message

  Nothing Found
  It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.

  There is nothing wrong with your site. By default the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post not a page the front page error message and searchbox that appears on every new WordPress.COM blog will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  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.

  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 change and click “save changes”.
