  Currently the defaut seems to be one. How can I change that?

  Also I don’t want the posts to appear in the drop-down of Christian Science Monitor on the menu.
  How can I make it directly come to the CSM category with list of blog posts?

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

  (1) Go here and increase the number of posts appearing on the front page of your blogs > Settings > Reading
  Blog pages show at most __ pages
  “Save changes”

  (2) We cannot even see your blog so I don’t comprehend why you are expressing. There is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. When we publish a post it automatically appears on the running page for posts and also on the Categories pages and Archives pages.

  We organize our posts by assigning Categories to them. Although there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance we have done so by creating a custom menu. In that custom menu you will be displaying Categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation to achieve what you want.

  Staff have provided this support documentation entry for those who want to structure their blog like a website which is what you want to do. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

  What’s critical is to understand when creating a website structure is the
  differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  1. You create a custom menu. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

  2. You add the Categories you want to display and arrange them in the order you want.

  3. Then you add and drop and drag the sub-categories below the appropriate Categories, and when you have everything arranged in the menu that you want you save the menu.

  4. Go to the “theme location” module at upper left on the menu page. Select your custom menu name from the pull-down labeled “primary location.” Click the save button in that module.
