  Anyone have ideas on how to adapt this type of landing page and the blog site to a blog that we all can use? I love this style. Or is their a blog that is simlar? Thanks

  You can’t. That’s not a free hosted WordPress.com blog.
  WordPress.com is a hosted blog service. You do not have to download software, pay for hosting or manage a web server. WordPress.com does not permit uploading themes or plugins. WordPress.org is free software. You can install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database. WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  A landing page is merely a static page that you choose to force each and every visitor to your site to click through every time they visit the site. If you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page for your site, and also create a “blog” page for your posts to display on, and then designate them here > Settings > Reading

  As for me I come to blogs to read the most recent content and if any blogger expects me to click through the same landing page each time I visit in order to find their content then they have another think coming. I’m gone and I will never ever return to a blog with a static front page.
