  Hi, just created my blog, but can’t upload any photos from my library. Just says error trying to upload try again later. A blog without pics is a bit of a soggy blog!

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

  Every theme has a detailed theme description page with set up instructions like this one https://wordpress.com/themes/cubic/ and a live demo site like this one https://cubicdemo.wordpress.com/

  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/

  A blog is a website. The difference between blog and website is simply structure and semantics.

  A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. As the posts are frequently updated and appear on the front page of the site it’s very attractive to search engines.

  What most people call a website is merely a page based site that functions as a one-way noticeboard. As the structure is page based and as pages are for static content that rarely changes, and as pages do not have RSS feeds, and as others do not backlink to pages, it is not as attractive to search engines as a post based blog structured site is.

  Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

  My header was mysteriously deleted sometime during last night by the faery glitch in WP system…3rd time by the way

  As I am trying to fix the situation when I go into header to put my picture from my media library back it will not take the pic just reads error

  Any suggestions? Any help? Or should I just start blogging on another site?

  I would do anything to have the WP of 3 years ago back when WP was efficient and everything worked! 💋
