News Theme
-
I am interested in the News Theme, but it looks like the content is all blog driven. Is there an easy way to get this theme looking like the demo while using pages instead of blogs?
Thanks!

A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. A website is a page based site designed to operate as a one way means of communication ie. a noticeboard.
blog = site with post based structure
website = site with page based structureAny WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based, but let’s put that aside for the moment. Please read this entry > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
You can use any theme here at WordPress.com to create a page based structure ie. a website rather than a post based structure ie. a blog.
On one hand, none of the characteristic “blog” features like categories, tags, authors, dates, etc. can be removed from a free hosted WordPress.com blog, without purchasing an annually renewable custom design upgrade and doing the required CSS editing.

Pages and Posts are completely different. Pages sit outside the blog structure and are for static content that rarely changes.

Thanks for identifying the theme. Your answer doesn’t change what I posted above – pages are pages and posts are posts.
