  The site appears to be devoid of any blogger created content and using the empty content link will not be helpful. It seems you need help with getting started.

  Every theme has a detailed theme description page with set up instructions like this onehttps://wordpress.com/themes/responsive/ and a live demo site like this one https://responsivedemo.wordpress.com/

  re: the front page error message found on every new .wordpress.com blog

  There is nothing wrong with your blog.

  By default, the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post, not a page, the error message will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  For creating a post in the New editor see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#publish-a-new-post
  For creating a page in the new editor see here
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/#create-a-new-page

  For editing in the new editor see:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/edit-pages-screen/

  On the bottom of your Admin page you will find a link to the step by step Learn WordPress.com blogging Tutorial prepared by Staff. http://learn.wordpress.com/

  See also the “Video Quick Start” tutorial http://en.support.wordpress.com/video-quick-start/

  The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also on the bottom of your Admin page.

  A blog is a website. The difference between blog and website is simply structure and semantics.

  A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. As the posts are frequently updated and appear on the front page of the site it’s very attractive to search engines.

  What most people call a website is merely a page based site that functions as a one-way noticeboard. As the structure is page based and as pages are for static content that rarely changes, and as pages do not have RSS feeds, and as others do not backlink to pages, it is not as attractive to search engines as a post based blog structured site is.

  Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

  Please note that some bloggers are asking for sites that have no blogger created content or next to none to be cleared. In those cases emptying the site is not really what they need; they need basic instructions for getting started with their blog.
