Dark area for posts at top of static home page

Make sure you have the theme set up correctly –

persist9: Set a Featured Image for your ‘The Safe Climate Newsletter Blog’ post. This will produce an image above your post title. Please note that the Twenty Fourteen theme highlights three recent posts and should account for the space to the right of the single, sticky post. Adding two additional sticky posts with featured images should solidify the area above the post itself.

Is there a way of stopping this information about my posts appearing at the top of my static home page?

I was having difficulty with meaning of words used to describe 2014 theme. I found out that:

** Posts can be assigned “tabs” or “categories”
** When you assign a post the tag “featured”, then it appears in this post area at the top of the home page. (You have to set a tab named “featured” first)
** When you chose a “grid” layout for the post information, 4 posts, each with their own “featured picture”, appear as post information
** When you chose a “slider” layout for the post information, one of your “featured” posts with its “featured picture” appears, and the reader can move between your featured posts

Thanks for your help

Not sure what you are asking about removing. Can you clarify?

Currently my home page shows:
** My menu at the top, then
** Information about one of my posts (post information) with its “featured picture” of a flood and its title “Where are our blah blah …”. I’m using the slider option so you can click to see info on another of my posts, then
** My static home page begins, with the word “HOME” blah blah

It is the post information that I would like to remove.

I would recommend creating a Twenty Fourteen child theme to make that sort of post view change.
