  I think I messed up something in trying to set up a static page. Perhaps I deleted something by accident. Any thoughts on how I can get that back?

  My posts are still found if I look them up in categories or in my dashboard, but not on the actual blog page. Any ideas??

  Follow step by step:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  1. Click Pages -> Add New in your Dashboard.
  2. Title this page “Home” (you can, of course, name it whatever you like).
  3. Type the content you want displayed on the front page of your blog and publish it.
  4. Write another new page.
     Title this page “Posts” (Or “blog” or whatever name you like)
     You don’t need to type content, because it won’t be displayed. Publish the page.
  5. Click Settings -> Reading on the left menu in your Dashboard.
  6. Tick “Static Front Page” and choose home (or whatever name you chose).
  7. Below that you can choose a page for your posts to appear. Choose the page you just made, the one without any content.

  Save.
