Can someone please direct me where this is or , alternatively, tell me how to get my blogg so it shows as a website?

  I’m sorry to report that you have accidentally posted to the wrong support forum. We cannot help you here at WordPress.com as we run on different software. This is the correct forum for your software http://wordpress.ORG/support/

  This site is a free hosted WordPress.com blog > http://activechangeforlife.wordpress.com/

  If it is the one you are referring to then you are in the correct support forum. However, all that stuff you read does NOT apply. It applies only to WordPress.org installs.

  On that blog the following applies. Staff have provided help for those who want to structure their blog like a website. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

  What’s critical is:
  (1) a clear comprehension of the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
  (2) a clear comprehension of the fact that there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page, but we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.

  We organize our posts by assigning Categories to them. When we publish a post it automatically appears on the running page for posts and also on the Categories pages and Archives pages. Note: There must be one published post in each Category in order for there to be anything to display.

  A custom menu allows you to display Categories with drop-downs to sub-categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation where normally only Pages tabs are displayed. If you wish you can also include Pages with drop-downs to sub-pages and/or custom links in your custom menu as well. You are in charge of what appears in a custom menu. You choose the order in which to display any and/or all the foregoing in your custom menu. You choose which to display and which to hide. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus

  Also note that if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page (landing page) for your site, and also create a “blog” page for your posts to display on, but that’s optional.
