Can categories go to existing menu tabs?
-
I am creating a new photography blog. I realized after I created a bunch of static pages that I might want their menu labels to also serve as category tags and to have posts from those categories update to those pages. I understand from the support documents how to set that up from scratch — but I can’t seem to get my head around how I would–or if it is possible to–send those category posts to existing static pages by the same names.
Since I already put a lot of work into creating those static pages, I’d prefer to have them be the recipient of the relevant category posts.
Related to this — is there a way to maintain my featured images (used in place of the Home header) for each of those static pages if they are actually being fed by posts from specific pages? Can these static pages also have sticky posts under the header — so I can keep my more favored photos at the top of that static-but-category-fed page?
My goal is to sort of maintain a tighter design at the top of each of those menu tab static pages — with a custom header and some sticky photos or gallery at the top — and then with the category-oriented posts coming in under that.
Thanks for any thoughts.

a) You need to create a custom menu and add your categories to it. For details see this post of mine:

You mean featured header images. No, they cannot: a featured image is part of a regular static page or a single post. Setting an alternative header image to a category page would be possible only if you had the Custom Design upgrade.
