I created a static home page and a blog page. The static home page displays fine, but there is a window that allows viewers to type comments, etc. I thought that was only supposed to be on the blog page. Also, when I click on the blog page, it says "nothing found." Again, there's an input window, but nothing displays on the blog page itself. Why can't my blog page be found, and why doesn't it work the way it's supposed to? Please help.

The name of the blog is: ruminationsofarestlessmind.wordpress.com

My theme is: Twenty Twelve

Apologies for this question - I've tried to search the forums & web for it, but given the subject, I get bogged down in errata.. :/

So, I have a forum, and I get a lot of spam. I delete the spam posts, but it leaves with stub pages that say simply "Topic not found. Back to <My Forum>."

How do I get rid of these stub pages? It's making Google complain about having too many 'soft 404s' which I can't really argue with.

Is there a way to:
a) delete those pages, and
2) stop them appearing in the first place?

Many thanks,

yes thanks. I have tried to get rid of the -2 but I am assuming it's because I have created a new page called blog and set it as the posting page.

I have now set up 4 pages on my new blog. Three static, one of which is the home page and a fourth which is set as my blog/posting page.

I am able to add or remove the leave a reply box on the three static pages but I cannot get one to show on the blog page.

All the pages are blank at present as I am trying to get it set up correctly before posting. I have left the four pages visible to assist with suggestions.

I have created a leave reply box on the "My Garden" page to display what I'm trying to say.

It may be that a post has to be made before the box appears. I have tried the FAQ's but it's not clear. (At this time of night)

Thanks in anticipation.

The front page of the blog by default will display your posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ 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 “Welcome” for your site (Showcase page template) and a “Blog” page for posts.
Choice 1 static front page
Choice 2 running page for all posts on front page
Which do you choose? It’s one or the other.

If you choose a static front page then you have to create two pages as I said above. After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
