  hi, my page (https://wbtrading.wordpress.com/blog_/) is text only, so at the moment all of the three blog posts are just running down the page, but i want the page to be a blog page, wherein each post is there to click into, like on this page of mine (https://wbtrading.wordpress.com/blog/). can i change the ‘blog’ page to look like the ‘my trades’ page?

  will.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Your theme setup instructions are at https://wordpress.com/theme/shoreditch

  The Home page of your site by default is at the URL for the site.

  This is a one or the other situation. You can create a static front page, and then a separate page for all your published posts. The first step is to create two pages and then designate them appropriately.

  (1) All posts on the front page also called the home page and is the URL of the site by default.

  (2) Or a static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page. In that case, you can create a Page for the Home page https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/#create-a-new-page first, then create one for your Posts/Blog. Lastly, you designate a static front page.

  Optional – Create a blog page https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/#optional-create-a-blog-page

  Create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#1-create-a-custom-menu

  Add your blog page into it https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#2-add-menu-items

  * Navigation Label – Enter your custom link text here. This overrides the default name of the menu item, replacing it with the name you give it instead.

  Hi will,

  Your WordPress site only supports one “blog” which you are currently using for your “My Trades” page. If I understand your question correctly, you’re going to want to use categories for your site. This will allow you to do have two types of post on your site. In the menu you’d like to:
  https://wbtrading.wordpress.com/blog/category/my-trades and
  https://wbtrading.wordpress.com/blog/category/blog

  Each of these would only show posts in that category.
