  Hi,

  I have a lot of categories and I want to create just three main categories and move all the posts from the other categories to just those three main categories so that I can use them as pages in my menu. I followed all the tutorials to try and move them but my blog keeps on coming up with errors and it won’t even let me create the new categories, rename anything, move anything.

  Is there any way that I can connect my pages with certain categories because this isn’t working?

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

  Please read this first Post vs. Page http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  (1) There is only one page we can post to in any blog.
  (2) The static pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ we bloggers create do not automatically update.

  Only the dynamic pages like Archives, Categories and Tags created by the software when we publish a post will update automatically update with new posts.

  By default the front page of the blog is the Page that displays all posts in your blog. You can create a static front page and have your published posts display on another page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ but doing that does not change what follows.

  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.

  This guide will walk you through how to create category pages for your blog, to display groupings of similar posts on pages other than your front page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/

  Create a custom menu

  Add dynamic categories and sub-categories pages to it
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-category-pages
  Create order and sub-menus (dropdowns)

  There are many common errors, misunderstandings and misconceptions when creating custom menus and there are some tweaks you can use to improve your custom menu as well. Here is more information:
