    I have added additional pages to my blog but all the posts are being posted on the home page. What am I missing here? How do I get posts to be page specific?
    Thank you,
    Daniel

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

    Unfortunately, you can’t assign posts to a specific page. Pages are static, mainly for information that won’t change too often like an “about” page. Posts always show up on your home page unless you assign a normal page to be a static page. That means you can have something like a “Welcome” page that doesn’t have posts on it, and then have the page that has all of your posts on it, just up in your navigation menu. Sorry if I’m making it sound complicated. More on making static pages here.

    There are many common errors, misunderstanding and misconceptions when creating custom menus and you can read about them here > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/custom-menus/

    Pages are static. They sit outside of the blog structure and you cannot post to multiple pages in any blog. There is only one main page for posts in a blog and all posts will show on the main blog page. There is no way to exclude posts from the main posts (blog) page.

    What’s critical is:
    (1) a clear comprehension of the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
    (2) a clear comprehension of the fact that 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 posts by assigning categories to them. There must be one published post in any category for it to display. You can create a custom menu and add the categories into the custom menu.

    If you do not want all the posts to show on the front page of the blog then you can create a static front page for your site.

    Choice 1 static front page.
    Choice 2 running page for all posts on front page.

    Which do you choose? It’s one or the other.

    If you choose Choice 1 static front page then you have to create two pages. One for the static front page which you can call anything you choose example “Welcome”, and one for the blog posts to appear on which you can call anything you choose example “Blog”. After your do that you go here . Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/
