  Please do not use excessive punctuation.

  You cannot change permalink structure on any blog hosted by WordPress.COM like http://georgemoorea.wordpress.com/

  What you are reading does not apply to WordPress.COM hosted blogs. It applies only to WordPress.ORG software installs.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Know that the vast and overwhelming majorityof videos that are online are aimed at WordPress.ORG software installs and do not apply to WordPress.COM hosted blogs. For your WordPress.COM hosted blog at http://georgemoorea.wordpress.com/ read and act on what follows.

  re: front page error message

  Nothing Found
  It seems we cannot find what you are looking for. Perhaps try a search?

  There is nothing wrong with your site. By default the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post not a page the front page error message and searchbox that appears on every new WordPress.COM blog will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
