No results for requested archive

When you type in my web address – clearviewindexing.wordpress.com – the page that shows up says Not Found, no results were found for the requested archive. What did I do wrong? I only have 6 pages showing on my dashboard. What is this 7th page?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

re: front page error message
Nothing Found
It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.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 error message will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

You have two choices.
(1) All posts on the front page.
(2) A static front page and posts on a different page.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 error message will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors, who come to read your latest post, and who are not likely to be happy with being compelled to click through the same static page with the same blah, blah, blah on it every time they visit the blog looking for the latest post.
However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, and know that static front pages can be traffic killers, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts.
To do that create two pages first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.

Thanks again timethief! I finally had the time to go into Settings, Reading and easily change my Front Page Displays to A Static Page, designating the Welcome page as the one I want people to go to first.
