Can each new page be a blog?
-
I was wondering if it is possible for each page to be its own blog? I’m creating a Game Review site and I want each gaming system to have its own separate blog. I also have other sections that I would like to be able to add posts to those pages and those pages only. Is this possible? Thanks.

No I’m sorry that’s not possible. In a blog only one page will automatically update with each new post you make. This is usually the front page but it can be changed.
Pages sit outside the blog structure. They are for static content that rarely if ever changes. They cannot be assigned categories and the only way to update them is to edit them. They also lack the google juice that your front page (posts) page has.
You cannot achieve what you want with a wordpress.com hosted blog. If this is a deal breaker for you then the alternative, provided you have the skills, is to hire a web host and download the free standing software from http://wordpress.org and then hack the template to suit.

You CAN do a workaround; simply tag each post on one particular gaming system with the name of that system as a tag. Then, when people click on the tag in your sidebar all they see is a blog about that system, because it goes to the local tag page.
