  Hi,

  Our Journalism Class is making a page featuring work on many different projects. We would like to utilize a static front page and then have our posts go into specific sections accessible from our header (where the pages are). Is there a way to do this using WordPress.com (I know it works on WordPress.org, but we’re not using that)? For example, if you visit the page, we’d like the documentary posts to come up when we click the Documentary header.

  I’m aware of categories and how they work, but I’d like these things to be accessible off the header, not off a menu on the side. Is it possible at all?

  Thank you,

  Pages are a form of content, like posts, and as such cannot contain posts.

  Instead, I recommend utilizing your categories and category archive pages.

  I guess our issue with that is that it won’t give us the specific look we are trying to achieve. Is there any way to do that on a WordPress.com site?

  No, there really isn’t, besides using your category archive pages of course.
