Can you move posts to a different page?
-
Is it possible to move posts from the home page to another page? I imported my blog from blogspot so all of my posts are on the home page. The reason I chose wordpress was for the separate pages, so it’d be good if I could use them properly. I can’t seem to work this one out.
Cheers.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Start by reading this:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/Your header tabs are links to static pages. A static page is like a post, like one post: you cannot display posts in those pages.
What you’re looking for is header tabs that link to your category pages instead (dynamic pages that display a number of posts). In some themes the header displays your categories. In some other themes you can create a custom header menu. See here for both:

In some other themes you can use a custom workaround – see here:

Static Pages sit outside the blog structure. Static pages cannot have Categories and Tags assigned to them. Pages do not appear in our RSS feeds. Most Pages do not have date stamps in their URLs. They have very little “google juice” Other bloggers rarely if ever backlink to static Pages in their published posts. Consequently, Page structured blogs have a very difficult time:
1. securing traffic;
2. securing comments;
3. securing backlinks;
4. achieving authority in their niche;
5. achieving Google PageRank.Posts can have Categories and Tags assigned to them. They do appear in our RSS feeds when published, edited, updated and when comments to them are approved and posted. Pages do have date stamps in their URLs. They have lots of “Google juice”. Other bloggers do backlink to Posts in their own published posts. Consequently, Post structured blogs have much better opportunities to:
1. secure traffic;
2. secure comments;
3. securing backlinks;
4. achieve authority in their niche;
5. achieve Google PageRank.Posts are only displayed on one running page and that’s usually the front page of the blog but it can be changes to another static page here > Settings > Reading.
Other bloggers become aware of Posts via search engine results, RSS feeds, and via social media “update tweets” and social network updating. They also “pass the news along” that a new posts has been published. When bloggers publish posts on related topics they link to the most relevant and authoritative posts found in the most authoritative blogs in their own niche. This is called backlinking and the number of backlinks a blog earns is one of the factors in the algorithm that determines a blog’s Google PageRank.
You can create as many static Pages and sub-pages as you like but the vast and overwhelming amount of Google juice goes to Posts because that’s the way blogs are designed and how they function. The most Google juice of all goes to the Front page of a blog, because blogs are structured in reverse chronological order, and search engines are programmed to locate fresh dynamic content on the front page.
