welcome page
-
I started a blog two days ago, with the domain name ‘scriblerian.wordpress.com’ I chose as a first page the latest posts to be shown, but now I have changed my mind. I tried to midify the homepage, but I couldn’t so I thought I’d start all over again. I deleted the site, and started a new one. Unfortunatelly ‘scriblerian’ was not any more available, so I went for ‘scribleriansite’. My first question is might it be possible to get ‘scriblerious’ back?
My second question conserns the homepage, I found out once more, despite the choise I made this time at the first step for the ‘home’ to be a welcome page, that there are the latest posts. How can I change this please?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The front page of every site or Home by default is the URL of the site.
Every theme has a detailed theme description page like this one is at https://wordpress.com/themes/libretto/ That’s where set up instructions for it are found. The live demo site is at https://librettodemo.wordpress.com/
All support docs are at https://en.support.wordpress.com/
This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
(1) All posts on the front page ie. the Home page. By default that is the URL of the site.(2) A static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page.
By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors, who come to read your latest post, and who are not likely to be happy with being compelled to click through the same static page with the same blah, blah, blah on it every time they visit the blog looking for the latest post.
However, 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. Create your two pages first
Front page:
Posts page:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/After you do that you go to > Dashboard > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/A static page (select below)
Front page:
Posts page:Go to http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php and make the required change.
*Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in the URL above with the actual name of your blog.
Front page displays
Save changes
