  I have edited WordPress sites a lot, but just created my first one.

  However, a Home page link is showing up twice below the logo (so it shows Home, About, Home). The first link gets a “Not Found” message, and the second goes to the right page.

  Sorry, searching old posts found several complaining of this symptom, but they were locked and I couldn’t see the answers.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Double-check your Front Page setting in:
  Dashboard > Settings > Reading

  That fixed it, thanks! I guess I’m ok with having a static front page; how would I fix this otherwise?

  You can pop a shortcode on your static home page that will show some posts.
