Why does the light on my ceiling fan work, but not the fan itself?

In installing my new ceiling fan, I hooked the black and the blue wires from the fan to the black wire from the ceiling box. I then hooked the white to white, and mounted the fan to the ceiling. I now have operating lights, but no usage of my fan? In a previous attempt, I hooked the black to black, white to white, and blue to red and got the opposite result: The fan worked but not the light…How do I get the light and the fan to work?
