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

    Are you using a theme with that design like one of these?

    We Volunteers cannot view private blogs so we cannot examine what you have done and assist you. Staff can view private blogs and that is why I tagged this thread for Staff assistance. Please subscribe to this thread so you are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

    P.S. I never make my new blogs private and I do not share the URL with anyone at all until I am ready to do so. That is because it takes weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL. http://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/

    Just to add another option, the Hatch theme has a nice front page of a grid of images, one for each post. Not sure if it might be considered one of the older themes that isn’t as well optimized for mobile devices, though…

    I agree with timethief that it’s better not to mark your blog private while you are setting it up, it’s a lot harder to get help that way, and believe me, your intended audience is not checking it out yet! (if so you are very lucky!) It’s no big deal to have a “work in progress” blog up with no real content for a while. Really, the only people who will see it are one or two trying to help you out on these forums. If it’s marked private they can’t help you, and waiting for staff is not usually the fastest way to get help…

    Hi there!

    It looks like you’re currently using the Spun theme. There are some theme option available to you through the Customizer that will hide or show the post titles. You can read more about those settings here:

    Let me know if you have any more questions!
