  why is everything so complicated? Let me explain… I’m just looking to have (what I thought was) a static home page with information there that doesn’t change + an about page, again ‘static’ with information that doesn’t change, then a blog page on which the lateset post would appear… eventually a landing page for services I provide. None of the (what I thought was) simple themes are allowing me to do this????????

  I thought I was somewhat computer literate, but feel like an imbicile trying to maniplulate the pages. Nothing is as it seems – not intuitive, I guess… HELP. Bluehost tried to sell me training sessions–really?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there,

  Firstly, let me assure you that you’re not alone in feeling overwhelmed when starting with a new platform. WordPress is quite powerful and flexible, which sometimes can make it seem complex, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll find it’s an excellent tool for building just about any kind of site you want.

  Now, to help you better, could you please confirm if you’re working on the site whalelinesnet.wordpress.com? I checked this site and noticed that it doesn’t currently have any content.

  However, if you’re referring to a different website, especially one that’s hosted elsewhere (like Bluehost), I’m afraid our ability to directly assist may be limited as we primarily provide support for WordPress.com-hosted sites.

  If you’re indeed working on a WordPress.com site, we can definitely assist you in setting up your desired structure: a static homepage, an about page, a blog page, and a landing page for services.

  Also, I wanted to mention that if you’re feeling overwhelmed with the process of setting up your site, we have a service called Built by WordPress.com. It’s a premium service where our team of professionals will build the site for you according to your specifications. It could be an excellent option if you want to save time and effort.

  Let me know if you have any other questions, and I’ll be happy to help.
