  Hello Fellow WordPress Users
  On my WordPress website, I have a page that is just for blogigng. Nothing else. How can I lay it out, so They have the title, a few sentences, and than read more. And repeat
  Just so they dont have to scroll down to find the blog they are looking for
  Thanks

  1) use one of the themes that does this automatically or

  2) use the More tag http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/

  More tags, for some reason won’t work for me. And I can’t find a good theme that can use for Photography and Blogging.

  a) The more tag works on themes that normally display full posts on dynamic pages, not on themes that display excerpts or thumbnails.
  b) Define “good” theme.

  every time i try and use more tags, it never works.

  ‘Good’ Means a place where I can show off my photographs in the different sub headding, and have another page, just for my random blogging

  I have already answered this: the more tag doesn’t work on themes that display excerpts or thumbnails. Fontfolio displays thumbnails.

  All themes allow you to create a custom top menu with links to different post categories.
  So go here:
  http://theme.wordpress.com/
  check the theme demos, and select a theme you like.

  You’re welcome.

  Another thing to note:
  Categories are supposed to be the main sub-groups of your posts. There’s no point adding the same category to all your posts. The page that displays “All posts in one place” is your default posts page. So:
  a) Create a new page in Pages > Add New: title it “All posts in one place”, enter no content, publish.
  b) Go to Settings > Reading and select that page as your posts page.
  c) Go to Posts > Categories and delete the “All posts in one place” category.
  d) Go to Appearance > Menus, delete the “All posts in one place” category from your menu, add the “All posts in one place” page, save.

  Hello WordPress,
  I have just created a 2nd page to my main WordPress blog and I have successfully made my first post to it.
  I then try and create a second post for the page I have just created but find that it always lands on the main blog page instead of the new page I have created.
  What am I doing wrong, and what is it that I need to do to correct this issue?
  Thank you.
  Philip Wright
