how to edit menu pages
-
I want five ‘menu’ pages on my site, and I cant’ seem to edit these, and when and if I do, each one I edit then changes them all to be the same. Help needed! I also want my Home page to be a seperate permanent page rather than a blog page.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Static Pages and dynamic Category Pages are not the same. The former cannot automatically update but the latter do.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/If you want to have pages that do update then they must be replaced by dynamic category pages that will automatically update every time you publish a post assigned to the relevant category.
By default the front page of the blog is the post that displays all posts in your blog. Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.
We organize posts by assigning categories to them. You can create a custom menu and add the dynamic categories pages into the custom menu.

In essence you are asking: How do I create a static front 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, 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, and know that static front pages are traffic killers, 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”.

Thank you so much for your help. Is there a way of changing the front tab from ‘home’ to another word?

You can do that if you set up a custom menu. When setting up the menu, expand the Home tab and change the Navigation Label field.

Have you read this section of the WordPress.COM support docs?
