  When I picked my theme it already had Home and About in the menu and will not allow me to edit or discard either of those pages. So, right now I have two Home options in the menu. The problem with using the one that was already there is that it does not allow me to make it the static page, so I have to create a home page so I can select it as static. How do i get rid of that other page? I have tried deleting it and it still shows up on the menu.

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

  Short answer to the front page issue:
  Create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ and add only the HOME page you want to include into it. https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-pages

  Longer answer to the front page issue:
  If you created a static front page or want to do that then make sure you read what follows so you have done it correctly.

  You have two choices on any blog
  (1) All posts on the front page.
  (2) A static front page and posts on a different page.

  By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors.

  However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for all published posts (not pages) to display on in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top.

  To do that create two pages first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

  After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
  A static page (select below)
  Front page:
  Posts page:
