I'm new to wordpress, and totally confused
-
After trying wordpress the last couple of weeks, I still don’t understand the essentials.
1 controlpanel, there are two different. New and old I believe. The blue one, (the new?) is hard to understand anything of, the green a little better.
2 I don’t know the difference between sides, posts, portefolio fex. They appeare exactly the same when I try making a test.
3 I’m panicing, because suddenly some draft I try, gets public. How do I prevent my drafts from getting public?? I almost don’t dare to try no more.
Is there some place I can find help for beginners? Maybe there exists a “WordPress for dummies” helpsite?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

re: the front page error message
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 error message will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/For creating a post see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#publish-a-new-post

You can create your posts in the classic editor on your dashboard > Posts > Add New

A draft remains in draft form until you publish it.
Your drafts are at Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > (Drafts)
