Posts and Pages?
-
When I click on my blog it comes up with my page but not the associated posts? So when I am sending out my page to people they are not seeing my posts how can I fix this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

That’s easy: learn the difference between posts and pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and either use the Recent Posts widget or use a theme with a tabbed header to display the Blog tab.

Welcome to blogging! It looks like you may have just written your first post, which is adding to the confusion for which link you should send to your friends to tell them about your new venture.
The address for your whole site/blog is http://memyselfandmigraines.wordpress.com/
When you write your second post it will be published above your existing post and they will both show up on the front page. As you continue to blog, this existing post will get pushed down further and further, but won’t ever go away.
If instead of sending readers/friends to read your whole blog, you want them to read a specific post, you would send them the direct link to the post you want them to see. In the case of your existing post it would be :http://memyselfandmigraines.wordpress.com/2014/06/20/ive-googled-it-its-a-migraine/ no matter how many additional posts you write, this link will always send readers to this post and it’s comments–but no other posts.
Once you get posts down, you may decide that you’d like to add another page to your blog. That’s where the link raincoaster offered comes in handy. a page is meant for static content that you want to always be easily available to your readers. Many bloggers use a page to create an “about” page to introduce themselves to their readers.
Hope that’s helpful. We are always here if you have additional questions.
happy blogging!

Holy guacamole! May I correctly I assume you are a Staff wannbe? lol :D
I’m LOL because raincoaster and I have answered questions here for over 8 years, and that years longer than almost every support staff member has been on staff. -
@timetheif, actually that’s exactly my goal. just want to get some experience before I apply. Not trying to step on any toes.

Anyone can answer support questions here. Anyone can also correct every wrong answer another blogger provides in a thread or simply ignore it.What I choose to do in those case depends on the mood I am in. Sometimes it’s just easier to tag the thread with “modlook” than it is to educate two people, when I’m multitasking. Also tagging the thread with “modlook” means staff know exactly how much a staff wannbe (affectionate term) does not know.
