  Hi,
  I’m using Sela. I posted my first blog but when I select Blog from my primary menu, i get: “OOPS Page Not Found”. How do I link my Blog menu to my blog posts?
  Thanks,
  Joy

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

  There is nothing wrong with your site. By default the front page of the blog or the blogs page when you set a static front page is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post not a page the front page error message and searchbox that appears on every new WordPress.COM blog will be gone and posts will appear on it.

  I did publish a post, not a page. The URL for the post is:
  https://hearttotheartlomilomi.wordpress.com/2015/05/02/lomilomi-a-new-path/
  but it doesn’t display when I select Blog from my main menu. I don’t think my menu entry is linked to where the published posts are located.

  Thanks for that URL. You have two choices on any blog
  (1) All posts on the front page.
  (2) A static front page and posts on a different page.

  By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors who will not be happy to have to click through an About page every time they visit your blog as they come to read your most recently published content. Creating that situation can make some visitors annoyed – so annoyed that they stop following your blog.

  However, 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 all published posts (not pages) to display on in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top.

  To do that create two pages first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

  After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
  A static page (select below)
  Front page:
  Posts page:

  The guide is here http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/
