Adding a Blog to the Menu
-
Hey!
So I at the moment I have a ‘Home’ and a ‘About’ button in my Menu and I would like to add more. I would like to add one called ‘Blog’ that acts kind of like it’s own homepage (for example like http://www.blogilates.com/blog/) where I can add blog posts and also put them under different topics (as a submenu of blogs). How is this possible?
Thank you in advance!
Chili
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There’s a couple different ways you could accomplish this, here’s a high level overview.
Do you have a page on your site called “blog”? If you set your front page to be a static page and your blog page to “blog” (under appearance> customize) you can add “blog” to the menu also under customize.
OR
You could add a link via the appearance>menus dialog. Here you could add any pages/posts from your site or you can add a custom link.

Hey! @eliseferguson thank you for your quick response! I did not actually have a site called “blog” yet but I think I managed now. I will try to deal with it but it’s so confusing for me! If I don’t manage I’ll just write again! :D

You can create a new page called “blog”. It can be blank. Then set it as the default blog page in the customize settings for the theme.

By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors, who come to read your latest post, and who are not likely to be happy with being compelled to click through the same static page with the same blah, blah, blah on it every time they visit the blog looking for the latest post.
However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts. To do that create two pages first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.

Front page:
Posts page:As you set the About as your front page you will need to edit and change that. Editing pages https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/#edit-a-page
