    http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=34q4n7r&s=2

    Please post the url for your blog. The theme you have chosen has a "home" page and it does not have widgets.

    (1) You can edit any post you have made here -> Manage -> Posts
    locate the post in question click "edit" make the changes and then click "save".

    (2) Widgets are what you see in blog sidebars. The theme you chose does not have widgets and therefore does not have a sidebar.

    (3) Do you want a static front page that has a welcome greeting and forces every visitor to click through it every time they visit your blog in order to find your posts? If so this is how to achieve that http://faq.wordpress.com/2007/02/20/having-a-static-page-at-the-front-of-the-blog/

    (4) If you are more specific about exactly what you want to achieve then we can do a better job helping you.

    Some themes come with a "Blog" or "Home" page coded into them. We cannot delete them but we can hide them like this http://faq.wordpress.com/2007/07/01/i-have-2-home-page-links/
