  Hey
  I am new to WordPress, blogging and all things related (not counting Facebook, though!). I need help with adding elements that show up on the home page. I am using the Harmonic theme, and like the demo, I want my home page to have a number of sections(just like the demo) consisting of a main picture that shows up first, then my posts(which I know that appear second, by default), followed by links to my work, accompanied with some text, and finally the About Me section. Also, I want different backgrounds to go with each section (again, refer to the demo).
  Currently, I have only two pages made About and WIP, which appear in succession on the home page. I cant get my posts to show up second, or anything else I have mentioned previously. I would be grateful if someone walks me through the process.
  My blog is: https://mindmemoriesmusings.wordpress.com/
  Harmonic Demo: https://harmonicdemo.wordpress.com/
  Thanks in advance.

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

  See the Harmonic theme guide. Pay particular attention to the section Setting Up Your Front Page, but note that this information applies only to a static page with the Front Page Template assigned. If you want your site to look basically like the demo, you must take the following steps:

  1. Create a static page and at the Page Attributes module of the editor choose the template “Front Page.”

  2. At Settings > Reading, choose the page created in the first step as your static front page.

  3. At Customize > Theme make any desired modification to visibility, background images, etc., in accordance with the instructions given in the Setting Up Your Front Page guide.

  Also, it will be great if you can tell me how to create a page showing all my posts at once. I cant find a page that already does this, but I do see it on other blogs and the Harmonic demo. For clarification, I am talking about the ‘Blog’ page or the ‘Posts’ page.
