   I am creating a site using the "Twenty Eleven" theme, and have created several pages. I would like for the "home" page of my site to be the blog/page where all posts are displayed. I just created a test post, and when I hit publish, then preview my site/blog, I don't see the post anywhere. I'm confused as to how to get the posts to appear on the "home" page, or if this is even possible??

   Cheers and thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out!

   You blog is private and that precludes any Volunteer support as we cannot view it. Here's an article that explains all the dteails about how the theme is designed > Twenty Eleven

   Why don’t I see the “front page displays” option on the Settings -> Reading screen?
   The front page options on the Settings -> Reading screen will not display unless you have at least one published page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/#troubleshooting

   Typically this is very simple. I don't know if it's different when you are actually being hosted by WordPress.com - but at my hosting configuration, a client can do the following:

   Go into your Dashboard > Settings > Reading

   Next to "Front Page Displays," select the "Your Latest Posts" radio button (rather than "A Static Page).

   Thank you, cyberfriends! I will consider both of your references right now, I left home earlier after I hit "send"... I did think of how the issue might be related to my working on the blog "privately". Perhaps I'll consider changing that for a moment to ensure all will be swell otherwise. And I'll check out that settings option! Salute! :)
