  I have had a wordpress.com site before and not had this problem before. I just started a new site and when you go to the home page it states there is no info and the posts are on the sidebar. How do I get them to go into the main feed? I am using the Adelle template.

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

  Read this page http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/adelle/

  Sounds like you did not assign a template yet.

  This is the URL for the feed for posts (not pages) for your blog http://parsimoniousmama.wordpress.com/feed/
  I clearly see this post ie. your only published post in it using Firefox 21 http://parsimoniousmama.wordpress.com/2013/06/01/gap/

  Chrome does not have built in feed reader and the feed reader extension that’s required is found here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nlbjncdgjeocebhnmkbbbdekmmmcbfjd

  Please be sure you fully understand the differences between Pages and Posts. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  The front page of the blog by default will display your posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. If you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts.

  To do that create two pages > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  Front page displays
  __ Your latest posts

  Is there another way to assign a template other than clicking activate?

  No. Please ignore the nonsense about templates. Every blog wearing the same theme here is using the same underlying template. You do not set a template you activate a theme an in this case the theme is active on this blog http://parsimoniousmama.wordpress.com/
