Adding more content to already published "page" via Windows Live writer
-
I am a newbie with this and someone recommended using Windows Live Writer to write my prose and then send it to my blog.
I have “static” pages I’ve set up–and already published which I am adding more info to.
My question is about Windows Live writer as it works with Word press. I don’t know if this is the correct forum.
But if I write in WLW–how do I get it to a static page as opposed to being a new post on the home page.How do I add to an existing page via WLW (more content)
How do I write from WLW to a page and not to a home page post (as I just said).Thank you. .
While I’m waiting for your answer, I’ll search for a forum for WLW also.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Oh dear. PLEASE do not set up your blog that way. You are shooting yourself not in the foot but in the Face.
Set up blog Posts, not Pages, and use Categories to separate them, and a Custom Menu to link to various Categories. This will make more sense after you read this:

A conventional blog has a post based structure. A website style of structure is created when we can the structure to become page based. Pages and posts are different. The results of creating a page based structure may not be what you want. To comprehend where raincoaster and I are coming from read > Better Blogging at WordPress.com: Pages and PostsYou cannot post to pages. Pages are static and sit outside the blog structure. The only way to add content to an existing static page is by editing it. With wordpress, you use categories to organize posts into subjects and then you can add those categories to your navigation using a custom menu.
There there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. But we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.
We organize our posts by assigning Categories to them. When we publish a post it automatically appears on the running page for posts and also on the Categories pages and Archives pages. Note: There must be one published post in each Category in order for there to be anything to display.
A custom menu allows you to display Categories with drop-downs to sub-categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation where normally only Pages tabs are displayed. If you wish you can also include Pages with drop-downs to sub-pages and/or custom links in your custom menu as well. You are in charge of what appears in a custom menu. You choose the order in which to display any and/or all the foregoing in your custom menu. You choose which to display and which to hide. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus

Thank you both. You gave me lots of homework and I’ll report back. I’m glad I’m checking in because this is helpful advice. My blog has been set up very quickly because Edison works quicker than we can around here. . .and so my blog is on the fly (that is launched to get the word out and still under construction at the same time) .
