  I’m new and the search function hasn’t helped with that unfortunately. I have my posts set to public and they are not sticky. I have the front page set to display the last posts.
  Still it says “nothing found” on the homepage.
  ?!?

  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 found on the front page of every new WordPress.COM blog will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  For creating a post see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#publish-a-new-post
  For creating a page see here
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/#create-a-new-page

  For editing see:

  On the bottom of your Admin page you will find a link to the step by step 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.

  Please also check this out: Why do I now have two home pages in my navigation?
  If setting up a static front page gives you two home links you can solve this problem by setting up a custom menu.

  You have set up your blog to open on a static page which does not exist. Set it to Blog Posts.

  It is set to blog/show posts. I have 4 posts already. They are all set to public. And none is set to sticky. And they all have the tag “Food” and images which is defined as showing as featured.

  You have the Two Home Page problem, so please read and follow TT’s links. One of those Homes is a static page which does not exist, the other is your blog posts page.

  How odd, it only counts posts as “posts” for the front side if I add it via the front page, not if I use the top bar. How can I change that?
