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

Why not go back to one of those others that weren’t the worst?

If you would describe each of these separate issues explicitly, providing links to examples, we may be able to help you resolve them.

If you experience any come and go display then make sure you upgrade your browser version here http://browsehappy.com and check with your ISP to be sure you have a reliable internet connection.
Next consult the set up instructions for your theme here please https://wordpress.com/themes/gateway/
There is a single page we can post to in any blog and that’s all there is. We can only create the appearance of posting to more than one page.
You have two choices on any blog
(1) All posts on the front page.
(2) A static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page.By default the front page of a blog displays all published posts in reverse chronological order with the most recently published post on top. When we publish a post on WordPress software the software automatically creates the same entry in the Archives, and on the dynamic (automatically updating) Categories and Tags pages in accord with the Categories and Tags we assign to that post.
So when we create custom menu and add the dynamic (automatically updating) category pages to that custom menu we create the appearance (not the reality) of posting to more than one page.
You need to be aware that:
1. There are differences between posts and pages described here
https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/2. There are differences between static pages we bloggers create https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ that will not automatically update, and dynamic category pages created by the software when you publish a post which will automatically update https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/.
3. We organize posts by category assignment prior to publication. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/ and when we publish posts the dynamic category pages they automatically display on are determined by the categories we assign to them.
So the process you need to use is:
- Assign Categories to your Posts. https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/
- Create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#1-create-a-custom-menu
- Add only the dynamic category page links into the custom menu that you want to appear in that menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-category-pages and arrange them as you wish them to appear https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus
- Create pages for static content, not for posts https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
- Add any custom links and other items like static pages into your custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-custom-links and https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-pages
P.S. Practicing kindness and civility go a long way towards getting the support you need. I suggest you can the sarcasm as it doesn’t look good on any yogini and this is a peer support forum where Volunteers like timethief (my other persona here) choose exactly which threads to respond to and which ones to ignore. I choose to ignore anyone who attacks me or any other Volunteer https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/wordpresscom-forums-community-standards?replies=1 I also ignore any blogger who posts sarcasm and that is a pity for them, because I have answered 6-8 pages of threads on average day in and day here out for over 9 years.

Additional information:
Nothing Found
It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.There is nothing wrong with your site. By default the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post not a page the front page error message and searchbox that appears on every new WordPress.COM blog will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
I recommend using the step by step tutorial linked to the bottom of your Admin page https://learn.wordpress.com
See also the “Video Quick Start” tutorial http://en.support.wordpress.com/video-quick-start/
The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also linked to on the bottom of your Admin page.
