To create the type of "cover" page that you want, here are the steps.
1) First you'll need to have two pages created. One will be your home page, and one will be where your recent posts will be displayed. If you haven't yet created a page, now is when you'll do that.

(If you want more instructions about creating the pages, let me know, and I'll be happy to write a post just on that! :) )
2) Next, in customize, you will set your site to have a "Static Home Page".
Note: Not all themes allow a static home page. Yours does, so you're in good shape! :)
A. Click "Customize"
B. Click "Static Home Page."

3) Now, you will select the page that will be your home page. (I titled my home page "Welcome!")

Then select the page for your Recent Posts page. (I titled mine "Recent Posts.")

Once this is done, you will edit your home page so that it's set up the way you want it!
We can talk about this when you're ready! Ask lots of questions! Play, explore, have fun! :)
