  When I start a new post I want to assign it to one of the six pages on my site, depending on topic … but they all seem to turn up on the opening page.

  Just to clarify – I can ‘edit’ each page and add text that way, but I can’t start a new post with a different date except on the opening page.

  I would be grateful for some help – thanks! x

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there :)
  You can’t post to more than one page. Please read on so you clearly comprehend ho blogs are designed to work. There is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. When we publish a post it automatically appears on the running page for posts and also on the Categories pages and Archives pages.

  We organize our posts by assigning Categories to them. Although there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance we have done so by creating a custom menu. In that custom menu you will be displaying Categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation to achieve what you want.

  These are the how-to instructions:
  1. You create a custom menu. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

  2. You add the Categories you want to display and arrange them in the order you want.

  3. Then you add and drop and drag the sub-categories below the appropriate Categories, and when you have everything arranged in the menu that you want you save the menu.

  4. Go to the “theme location” module at upper left on the menu page. Select your custom menu name from the pull-down labeled “primary location.” Click the save button in that module.

  Note: If you wish you can also include pages and sub-pages of your own choice and custom links in your custom menu as well.

  Please change the blog linked to your username to the “live” blog. Dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to Account Details. Then scroll down to where it says ‘Website‘ select the URL for your primary wordpress.com blog and then save changes.

  You’re welcome :)
