  Hi,
  I am relatively new here and got to clear the following doubts.
  1. When the Home page is scrolled up, About and Contact pages also appear. I do not want this. Each page has to appear when clicked on the Menu link.
  How can I prevent Home page showing other pages as well?
  2. Is there a way to show my latest posts on Home page? If so which widget should I use?
  Any solution and help will be greatly appreciated.
  Thank you

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

  This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
  (1) All posts on the front page.
  (2) A static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all 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 come to read your latest post, and who are not likely to be happy with being compelled to click through the same static page with the same blah, blah, blah on it every time they visit the blog looking for the latest post.

  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 posts. Create your pages first
  Front page:
  Posts page:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

  After you do that you go to > Dashboard > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  A static page (select below)
  Front page:
  Posts page:

  re: getting started

  Your detailed theme description page is at https://wordpress.com/themes/affinity/ and that’s where set up instructions for it are found. The live demo site is at https://affinitydemo.wordpress.com/

  Thank you so much for your response!
  I think there is a little confusion in understanding my problem.

  I am okay with the Blog page streaming when scrolled.
  What I am talking is about “HOME” page that can be clicked from the top menu (links). If we click on HOME, it also shows pages ‘ABOUT’ and ‘CONTACT’ scrolling as well.

  I thought these should not be linked and each page must appear only if the menu button on top right corner is clicked.

  May be it is by default; the theme I selected may be like that!

  Thanks you all, once again :)
