can i post to different pages on 1 blog?
-
I know I can create different pages and edit/update them. But on the same blog can I blog post to more than one page? I like to take pictures and write and I’m trying to figure out if it would be best to have two different blogs or just 1. I think 1 would be good but not sure how to organize it. Appreciate the help.

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

There is only one page in any blog that we can post to and by default it’s the front page of the blog. Though we cannot post to more than one page we can create the appearance we have done so. What’s critical is knowing that the static pages we blogger create will never automatically update. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ Only dynamic Categories pages will automatically update when we publish posts.
Below is an example of a static page URL. Study it closely and note that no static Page can automatically update.

Study it closely please and note that only dynamic category pages can automatically update.
http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/category/basic-blogging/Setting up a menu is easy as pie, provided you know the differences between Posts and Pages, and the differences between static Pages, (which will never automatically update) and dynamic Categories pages which will automatically update when you publish Posts with Categories assigned to them.

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.

Thank you. If I added different pages to my blog, and posted my updates to my frontpage, would there be a way to get posts added to certain pages based on a specific category? Thank you

I already described how to do that above.
You do not add Pages because static pages cannot ever update.
You add dynamic Categories pages into a custom menu because they will automatically update.
