  On the front page of my blog I seem to have two about entries. I don’t know what I did
  to cause that. How can I change that? What are the normal entries there? Home About and ?

  Thanks,

  (2) You have two About pages because you created two About pages. You can delete one very easily following these direction. >
  Dashboard > look on the far left side column and find “Pages”
  click Pages->Edit > when the page opens – delete the Page.

  I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that. Done, It’s gone.

  Thank you! What a way to start the day. I actually choked on my coffee. I’m taking a break now to bring my blood pressure down … okay.

  I feel awful about that. It will never happen again.

  Not to worry. Onward and upward. I see you also deleted the duplicate About Page. Now what you need to do is read support documentation so you clealry understand the difference between static Pages for content that rarely, if ever, changes, and cannot have Categories or Tags assigned to them and have very little Google juice and Posts. Blogs are post structured. They have lots of Google juice, and can have Categories and Tags assigned to them. They appear displayed in reverse chronological order on your blog’s front Page after publication and also in the Categories, Tags and Archive pages.
