    I’m not too comfortable with the way my posts are arranged from latest to older… So I’m wondering if I could have a Front page… Like a website home? then I can categorize my post and ensure that my past top post are always seen, not just the episodal posts.

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

    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 change and click “save changes”.
