  How do I set which page viewers see when they visit my blog? Right now I have a page set as #1, but the url goes to another page. Please help! I want viewers to see my artist statement first.

  If you wish to force every visitor even return visitors to arrive on a static front page and have to click through it to locate the most recent content that they come to read that’s possible.

  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”.
