  There’s nothing that requires fixing.

  A blog is a website and any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page base, but let’s put that aside for the moment. Please read this entry > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You can use any theme here at WordPress.com to create a page based structure ie. a website rather than a post based structure ie. a blog. Before you make any decisions at all read this comparison carefully please http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Also note that no WordPress.com themes can be exported and used on WordPress.org software.

  On one hand, none of the characteristic “blog” features like categories, tags, authors, dates, etc. can be removed from a free hosted WordPress.com blog, without purchasing an annually renewable custom design upgrade and doing the required CSS editing.

  On the other hand, one can edit a WordPress.org theme free of charge. That’s why I suggested you read the comparison > WordPress.com and WordPress.org: The Differences

  There is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and we cannot post to more than that one page. The front page of the blog by default will display your posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. If you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts.

  To do that create two pages > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  Front page displays
  __ Your latest posts

  A static page (select below)
  Front page:
  Posts page:

  Oh dear … I apologize for the the second paragraph in my first comment above. It’s repetitious and was unintended. :(
