  There is only one post page, and that is the main blog page. You can give the illusion of having two blog pages by categorizing your posts under appropriate names and then setting a static front page with links to those category pages.

  You can find out about static front pages in this support document.

  Helps if I include the link: http://support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ .

  Richard,
  I should know this, but can you then hide or exclude your post page?

  If you set a static front page, and create a new post page, I think you should be able to hide it but I’ve never tried.

  No, me neither. But if the post page was not accessible, it would sort of create the illusion of two post pages. hmm. My brain is saying night-night.

  Yeah, perhaps I’ll try it tonight on one of my test blogs.

  When you set a static front, you don’t have to create a posts page as well; you can rely on category pages alone.
