  What are on the main page, are posts, so you are updating posts. Pages are a separate thing and sit outside the blog structure.

  Pages are edited by going to “pages” in the left navigation on the dashboard, then clicking on the “edit” link under that heading and then selecting the page you want to edit.

  This support document discusses the differences between pages and posts: http://support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  Thank’s maybey i did not explain correctly. I know how to edit the pages. I just wanted to add more informatin to my pages. Example.. I have a bible games page, i want to add more bible games to that page, without having to go in to the Bible games page and just scrolling down and add information.

  When i do make a new post it adds it only on the home page. Thank’s

  Yes. That is how blogs work. There is only one dynamically updating page. Read the support document which tsp linked to, which explains the difference between posts and pages.

  To make your link clickable, start with http:// so volunteers can see your blog easily. The site linked to your name is not a WordPress.com blog and that’s not useful in these forums.

  Be sure to read tsp’s link about the difference between pages and posts.
  Pages are like a reference library where you put such things as “about me or my organization” “things a reader should know” or other information that doesn’t change.
  Posts are articles you write about various topics. It’s important to assign each article to a category. Then put a categories widget into your sidebar and your readers can find all the articles you wrote about each topic.
  When a reader chooses a topic, all the articles about “bible games” for example will show up.
