I created a new page for my wordpress site. Then I published it
and waited and waited and waited.
In another browser I can see the URL of the page at https://craftsmanshipforsoftware.wordpress.com/linux-sockets-which-process-is-listening-to-a-port/?preview_id=188&preview_nonce=cc825aeff3&_thumbnail_id=-1&preview=true
but the Recent Posts does not have this page. I am using as few plugins as possible - just the default.
The main page at https://craftsmanshipforsoftware.com/ likewise does not display this new page.
In the dashboard under Posts, this new post does not appear.
I have waited over an hour to see this post appear.
I should be able to simply Publish a new post and have it appear on
my site within a few minutes.
In order to see another post show up under "Recent Posts" you need to create a blog post, not a page. Pages are different than posts and will not show up in your recent posts.
Add this content by clicking Add next to blog posts from the wordpress.com dashboard. You will not have to wait after you have published it for it to show up.

I chose a single page as home page in my WordPress blog setting, but I want my posts to be visible as well. Is there a url (or any other way) to access the posts list (like the homepage in normal WordPress blogs)?
In order to do so, you can use recent posts widget plugin.
This demo can help you out (Seek video to 1:00).

I am new to wordress.. I need to create a wordpress site.. I am little confused when I use post and when I use page? How to identify whether the site should be pages or posts??
This post is very usefull for you for make Company website in Wordpress
There are very key differences between posts and pages in your WordPress site.
About Posts
Posts are entries listed in reverse chronological order on the site homepage or on the posts page if you have set one in Reading Settings. If you have created any sticky posts, those will appear before the other posts. Posts can be found in the Archives, Categories, Recent Posts, and other widgets. Posts are also displayed in the RSS feed of the site. You can control how many posts are displayed at a time in the Reading Settings.
If you want your posts to appear on a page other than your home page, see Front Page.
About Pages
Pages are static and are not listed by date. Pages do not use tags or categories. An About page is the classic example. Pages can be displayed in the sidebar using the Pages widget, and some themes display pages in the navigation at the top of the site.
How many can I have?
There is no limit on the number of posts or pages you can have.
How do I post to a Page?
All posts will appear on the main posts page, but you can also display specific posts on category pages with our custom menus feature. If you want, you can change the default page for posts to appear by changing Reading Settings in the Dashboard. This will likely require changing your Front page as well.
Reference from Wordpress Community
I have a blog hosted on Wordpress Technowide with Reading setting as Homepage as Posts page i.e. I have made the home page http://technowide.net/home/ as my blog post page as the result all my blogs listing is displayed on my home page itself along with post navigation.
This resulted in duplicating of URLs with same blog listings.
For example: Both the below URLs show same latest 10 blogs:
http://technowide.net/
http://technowide.net/home/
Same is the case with following pair with next 10 latest posts:
http://technowide.net/home/page/2/
http://technowide.net/page/2/
and so on.
Can anybody please assist me to address this issue??
The default behaviour is for the homepage to show your latest posts (blog). If that's what you're aiming for change "Front page displays" to "Your latest posts".
The problem you have at the moment is caused by setting the Blog posts page to a page titled Home which I presume is supposed to be the homepage.
I chose Wordpress for my last project but I have a question. I'll use Pages so the client is able to change the content himself. For the moment there are no Post or blog in it. Is it possible to run Wordpess without a blog? It'll be a blog in a future but not now. Thanks.
Absolutely you can have a WordPress site without a blog. You just need to do a couple of things in the admin.
First you need to create 2 pages: a static 'home' page, and a 'blog index' page. The home page is what will be displayed when a visitor comes to the site. The blog index page is just a blank page, with a title you can remember.
Next, in Settings > Reading, select Front page displays a 'static page', then set 'Front page:' to the home page you made, and 'Posts page:' to the blog index page you made.
Yes, for sure you can do this.
Just do the following:
In your admin backend click on Settings -> Reading and set "A Static Page"
Go to Appearance and build a custom menu and add there your pages to a active menu.
Disable all widgets which link to posts.
In fact you need only the first step, but with the second you allow users to navigate on your site. To make the UX better, just add a plugin like Map Categories to Pages to add a category widget or something in this way, to let people browse your site more nicely.
my client has the following wordpress site =
http://texasdentalimplants.com/index.php/blog
This is how the blog page traditionally works :
User clicks on Blog Page --> Series of posts are shown --> User chooses to click blog post, user sees chosen blog post
The client, whoever, wants to only display 1 blog post per page, so now the "blog" page, kind of becomes redundant(It's just an exact copy of the blog post).
What I would like to do is to make it work like this --
User clicks on "Blog" ---> User sees the latest post --> User can click "previous post" and "next post", to go back and forth.
How would I make it so that when I click on "Blog", it goes directly to the latest blog post?
This is all in an effort to simply reduce redundancy, since the client is worried that it will affect SEO.
I did a poor job of phrasing this question, but what I essentially wanted was to link to the latest post in my navigation. To do this, I followed this tutorial:
http://www.viper007bond.com/2011/09/20/code-snippet-add-a-link-to-latest-post-to-wordpress-nav-menu/
Essentially, I added a link in my navigation with an anchor #latestpost. The code snippet was added in functions.php to replace #latestpost with the link to the latest post
