Can I put posts on a certain page, or do they all go to the home page?
-
I have created another page on my blog, but I don’t see how I can post to that page. I don’t want everything on the home page. If I can’t specify that a certain post should go to another page, what is the point of having additional pages?
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.

Yup, she did. I was replying to the OP, but Time thief got hers in first, making my comment redundant. I couldn’t see her comment until after submitting mine.
Cheers, y’all.

I suspect that she travels near the speed of light, so that time seems to pass more slowly for her than for the rest of us. By the time she returns to Earth, we’ll all be long gone! :^)
