My first blog
-
Feeling inspired, I just wrote my first blog. However, I do not have an introductory page telling about myself, what I want to write about and how I want to help people.
I also do not know how to ask in the He forums. I do not know what a forum is or how to find one. I wish I could directly contact a person one on one to help me.

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

Hi
You can use your About page as an introductory page to tell about yourself. Go to this link, click on the About page from the list of pages and you can start putting in the stuff you want to put there.
I would recommend that you check out https://learn.wordpress.com. All you need to get started is there.
Hope this helps. Happy blogging!

How do I add my blogs to a category? I would like to add it to Daily Inspirations. I would like to know what other categories there are also. And what is a tag?

All support docs are here https://en.support.wordpress.com/ where the searchbox is your friend.
https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/
https://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=tagsYou are referring to dynamic category pages and creating a custom menu.
Every theme has a detailed theme description page and this one is at https://wordpress.com/themes/affinity/ That’s where set up instructions for it are found. The live demo site is at https://affinitydemo.wordpress.com/
This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
(1) All posts on the front page.
(2) Or 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:
a. Assign Categories to your Posts. https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories
b. Create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#1-create-a-custom-menu
c. 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
d. Create pages and sub-pages for static content, not for posts https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
e. Add any custom links and other items like static pages and sub-pages into your custom menu
https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-custom-links https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-pages
and arrange them as you wish them to appear https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menusPlease see https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

Okay- thank you first of all for addressing my situation. When I post a topic in forum I do not know how to come back to forum and see any replies to my problem. Someone els le sent me the link to come here or I never would have seen your reply. Thank you for giving me information. Now I understand what a static page is. Can you tell me how to change my static front page to the page of my most current blog with my other blogs after that?
