Any way to make a post appear like a child page of a Page on the horizontal boar
-
… boarder up the top of the blog.
I’ve recently read everyone saying not to turn (well copy and paste) a post into a page when they want it to appear up the top alongside “about” and “home”, due to SEO reasons. So is there any way to achieve the same look and keeping the data as posts?
I want to have photo galleries, videos, and general ramblings on my horizontal boarder alongside “home” etc, as I prefer the look of it, rather than having it down under “categories” on the side. You can see on my blog an example of what I want. Under “Photo galleries” is “My Favourite Places”, but I had to do My Favourite Places” as a child page to get it to go there. There’s no way to place it there is a post is there?
I’s all rather frustrating, as I want to work on more content, but I fear I will have to do it all again as a post or vice versa. Which makes me think, should I just make everything as a post AND a child page, so that SEO isn’t affected, yet I kind of achieve the look I want. Sounds really daft haha, but I dread the though of having to change everything from page to post and maybe back again, as I learn more stuff.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Yes, there is. Custom Menus.

Your question includes concern about SEO and publishing anything in a Page as opposed to publishing it in a Post is never ever better for SEO. It’s always the worst choice that you can make.
Fortunately, access to posts can be included in a custom menu by simply including the dynamic category pages in a custom menu as indicated above.
Technically you can’t post to more than one page on any blog but do read on. Static Pages and dynamic Category Pages are not the same. The former cannot automatically update but the latter do.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/If you want to have pages that do update then they must be replaced by dynamic category pages (and sub-category pages) that will automatically update every time you publish a post assigned to the relevant category and/or sub-category.
By default the front page of the blog is the post that displays all posts in your blog. Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.
We organize posts by assigning categories to them. You can create a custom menu and add the dynamic categories and sub-categories pages into the custom menu, and order them as you wish.
