  Hi there, i don’t know how to supress the “home” page on my blog. I can’t edit it, i can’t delete it, and when you arrive on the blog all you see is a “home” page with an error message saying
  “Nothing Found
  Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.”.
  It is pretty annoying knowing that this blog is the blog i am making for an association that i have to show to my teachers because i am currently doing an internship in communication. Could you help me fix this?

  Thanks a lot.

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

  By default the front page of your blog displays all posts. The 404 (page not found) error message on the front page of the blog appeared because the Admin of the blog deleted the placeholder Hello World post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/not-found/ As soon as you publish a post, not a page it will disappear. Read the differences between Pages and Posts.

  Pages vs. Posts

  Please be sure you fully understand the differences between Pages and Posts. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  The front page of the blog by default will display your posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. 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 > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.

  Front page displays
  __ Your latest posts
