  There is nothing to install if you are referring to http://ibbeachnana.wordpress.com/
  The login link is http://ibbeachnana.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard.

  Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

  If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
  follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

  If you have lost your log-in information you can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  Your last resort for obtaining access is to complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery with as much information as possible and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access.

  Thanks so much as obviously I got plenty of bad advice to the point of craziness and was told to install MAMP etc. Thanks so much!

  You’re welcome and best wishes. Below are some helpful links for getting started

  re: front page error message

  Nothing Found
  It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.

  Your site has not disappeared and there is nothing wrong with it.

  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 that appears on every new WordPress.COM blog 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
  For creating a page see here

  For editing see:

  On the bottom of your Admin page you will find a link to the step by step Learn WordPress.com blogging Tutorial prepared by Staff. http://learn.wordpress.com/

  The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also on the bottom of your Admin page.
