NOT FOUND???

Why does it say “Not Found ~ Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here” on my blog?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

re: front page 404 (page not found) error
That error message can easily be addressed. Publish a post and it will be gone. By default the front page of your blog displays all posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. 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/ -
On the bottom of your Admin page you will find a link to the Learn WordPress.com blogging Tutorial prepared by Staff. http://learn.wordpress.com/
The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also on the bottom of your Admin page.

@pattysilverberg
Please ignore what barry001 posted as he’s completely off base. The codex is for self hosted WordPress.ORG installs. It’s not for free hosted WordPress.com blogs. I already posted the correct answer above. -
Thank you so much for your help timetheif … I just created this blog this morning, having never done this before! :o
I just tried to put my first posting, but when I click on “Text” under “What would you like to post?”, it doesn’t go to the text box. It does nothing. It is giving me the “hand” signal to click, but nothing happens? -
1. I strongly recommend you do not create any posts at this link because the autosave does not work there > http://wordpress.com/#!/post/
Instead create posts only on your own blog’s dashboard here > Posts > All Posts > Add New
http://pattysmail.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php2. I also recommend that you use the step by step tutorial Staff have linked to the bottom of your Admin page at http://learn.wordpress.com
