I just want a Website!
-
I am suppose to make a portfolio website for my last semester class. I would like to have 4 different topic pages in the menu along with a Home and an About page (all static). But I don’t want or need a blog. Is there any way to just make a free website and not a blog?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Every day we get new people here at WordPress.COM who do not understand that a blog is a website posting here. This is all semantics and blog structure.
A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. As the posts are frequently updated and appear on the front page of the site it’s very attractive to search engines.
What most people call a website is merely a page based site that functions as a one way noticeboard. As the structure is page based and as pages are for static content that rarely changes, and as pages do not have RSS feeds it is not as attractive to search engines as a post based blog structured site is.
Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

Here are some basics I will share with you.
re: front page error message foundon every new .wordpress.com blog
Nothing Found
It seems we cannot find what you are looking for. Perhaps try a search?There is nothing wrong with your site. By default the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post not a page the front page error message and searchbox that appears on every new WordPress.COM blog will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
