Linking my essay (post) to my home page.

Hi there,
Your site has a static homepage. That means the homepage only shows content you specifically add to it.
To have the homepage show your posts you have two options:
1) Replace it with a posts page. Go to Appearance ->Customize ->Homepage Settings. Change the option at the top to Front page displays latest posts, and save.

2) Add a block displaying your latest posts to the front page, in addition to the current content:

The post carousel block mentioned above is another block you could use, but that’s meant for posts that have a big featured image set, and won’t look as good with a text-only post like the one you have published so far.
There’s also a third option, which is to display your posts on a completely separate page. To do that, you’ll create a new blank page, and set that as the posts page under the homepage settings in the Customizer.
Whichever option you go with, you might also want to consider creating a site menu linking to your various static pages. If you decide to have a separate posts page, you can then also include a link to that page in your menu:
