  Why does my blog redirect to the static homepage?

  This is the URL or address of your blog http://wolfscratchfarms.wordpress.com/

  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 error message will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-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, and know that static front pages can be traffic killers, 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 first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

  After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.

  I changed our site so that the homepage is a static page instead of the blog. Now when I click the blog (no longer the homepage), it redirects to the homepage instead of showing our posts. Please help!

  Please check what I posted above out again. You have two choices.
  (1) all posts on the front page at http://wolfscratchfarms.wordpress.com/
  (2) or creating two pages and designating them as described here http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  If you fail to create and designate TWO pages then you get what’s you’ve got now.
