  I’m not sure what you’re referring to. Do you mean http://wordpress.com/#!/post/ ?

  If so, you’re free to use it at any time.

  if you click my blog you can see the two posts that i have up so far are on the same page. I wanted them on seperate pages but haven’t the SLIGHTEST clue how to do it. haha so it would have my most recent post only showing when you visit the blog, and a button at the bottom saying “older posts” to go to previous posts

  Pages are form of content, like posts, so they can’t contain posts.

  Instead, I recommend utilizing your category archives, like http://blessingsforherbaby.wordpress.com/category/baby/

  Oh, you already have that. For example, head to http://blessingsforherbaby.wordpress.com/2012/10/17/well-since-you-asked/

  At the bottom, you have a link to the next post listed with the title of the post, “← Bieber said it best: Oh baby baby baby!”

  That’s because http://blessingsforherbaby.wordpress.com/2012/10/17/well-since-you-asked/ is a single post view.

  http://blessingsforherbaby.wordpress.com/ is your blog view. There’s no need for next/previous post links, because users can just scroll down to see the next post.
