  Oops! That page can’t be found.
  It looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try one of the links below or a search?

  By default the front page of your blog displays all posts. The 404 (page not found) error message on the front page of the blog appeared because the Admin of the blog deleted the placeholder Hello World post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/not-found/ As soon as you publish a post, not a page it will disappear. Read the differences between Pages and Posts.

  When using the theme customizer please be sure you are using one of the browsers and versions found here http://browsehappy.com and also be sure you have enabled third party cookies. http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/

  NOTE: I do not use the theme customizer. All of the very same functions can be accessed from your dashboard.
  Appearance > Header
  Appearance > Background
  Appearance > Theme Options (applicable only to some themes)
  Settings > Reading (set a static front page)
  Site Title and Tagline > Settings > General

  Do understand that no changes you try out aside from those such as Custom Background, Custom Header and Theme Options which are stated on the theme description pages for each theme will be visible to visitors unless you purchase an annually renewable custom design upgrade?

  I have published two posts and that page is still appearing – how do I get that placeholder back?

  What are the titles or URLs of these posts?
  I cannot see any published posts there at all.
  I see a Page and a Page is not as Post http://thesmiths1000things.wordpress.com/test-1/

  Pages vs. Posts

  I do understand the difference between a page and a post.

  Titles of posts are test 2 and hfsdfjhsdfkj.

  I think i might have mapped the posts to appear on a different page which i then deleted. Is there any way to resolve this.

  Your could go to your Trash and restore what you deleted.

  Then you could use the step by step tutorial Staff linked to the bottom of your Admin page at http://learn.wordpress.com to start again.
