The Stay theme seems to be a difficult theme for a lot of bloggers to comprehend the workings of. Here’s a link to the detailed theme description:
http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/stay/
Scroll down to “Home Page Template”
See also Live demo site here http://staydemo.wordpress.com/You will need to follow the instructions to make the theme to look like the one in the demo. The demo is using the “Home page template” which cycles through select top level pages on your site. Create a page called for example “Home” and then set that page as the static front page for your site and create another page fro example “blog” for your posts to appear on.
The front page of the blog by default will display your posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. If you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page. To do that create two pages > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.

Categories can be assigned only to Posts and not to Pages. Static Pages and dynamic Category Pages are not the same at all. The former cannot automatically update but the latter do.
Pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
This is an example of a static page URL.

This is an example of a category URL.Study it closely please and note that only dynamic category pages can automatically update.
http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/category/basic-blogging/By default the front page of the blog is the post that displays all posts in your blog. Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.
We organize posts by assigning categories to them. You can create a custom menu and add the dynamic categories pages into the custom menu.
