  Everytime I try to create a static homepage, and a page just for blog posts, the word Home shows up on the blog post page. The menus I create have screwed up everytime.

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

  All support docs are at https://support.wordpress.com/

  Results: Set a Static “Home” Page (Front Page)
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  By default the front page of your blog is at the URL of the site and 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”.
