Posts & Pages
-
So far, I have a one-page blog with the posts in reverse order, that is, I wrote and posted intending the first post to be read then the second then the third and so on. So I’ll change the dates on the posts and get them in the correct order and that will be the first page, or ‘home’ page that comes up when you arrive at my blog. It explains the purpose of the blog and illustrates with a story. Then I want people to be able to go to other pages, read and post. Thanks, JH

That’s the normal structure for any blog and there is no universal setting you can use to achieve reversing the structure.
Blogs are essentially a reverse chronological order publishing tool wherein the most recent published post will display on top. You cannot change this order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. There is no upgrade that allows you to change this post order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. It’s designed to serve your visitors as they come to read the most recent posts and will not be inclined to trawl through hundreds of posts to locate it.
See here for the option of creating a book-like structure > http://en.support.wordpress.com/write-a-book/ Perhaps that will work for you.
Or you could use a single sticky post as an index page > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts
Or you can falsify every date-stamp before publishing.

You hover over the title of the post and click the Edit link, then edit the datestamp in the Publish module and click update.
Note that you can examine these images so you see how to edit posts and change datestamps and timestamps where required.

P.S. Before you do that confirm that your timezone is correctly set, please.
The default timezone is UTC time. You can confirm or reset your timezone here > Dashboard > Settings > General. There you select the closest city to you in the same timezone in the drop-down menu and then click “save changes”.
