Certain Posts directly to Pages
-
I used to have blogger, and there I set it up when I put a specific tag that it would be show under a certain Page. How do I do this in wordpress. For example if I write a post about farming, I’d like it to automatically go under the Farm Page. I have premium.
Thanks

In WordPress.com, you can categorize your posts and then add category pages to your menu.
You can first create a category named Farming by following the instructions in this support guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/
Then create a category page using the instructions in this support guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/
Note that you can’t change the name of the category page to be different to the category name. i.e. If you have a category named farming then the category page name will also be farming. It can’t be something like Farm Page etc.
Give it a try and let me know how it goes. And feel free to ask if you have any other questions :)

Thank you. I tried understanding the Menu information but I am confused. Could you put it in easier terms for me? I want to setup the following:
Pages:
Home
Farm
Grace

Could you look at my blog. I can not figure out why the first post I have published is not coming up under HOME page.
Thanks

This is a static Page, not a Post http://farminggracedaily.com/about/
Read the differences here https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
Also. I can tell you did not understand what chaitanyamsvsd provided because you have created static pages for Farm and Grace that need to replaced with dynamic category pages. I will explain this in different words.
This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
(1) All posts on the front page.
(2) Or a static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page.By default the front page of a blog displays all published posts in reverse chronological order with the most recently published post on top. When we publish a post on WordPress software the software automatically creates the same entry in the Archives, and on the dynamic (automatically updating) Categories and Tags pages in accord with the Categories and Tags we assign to that post.
So when we create custom menu and add the dynamic (automatically updating) category pages to that custom menu we create the appearance (not the reality) of posting to more than one page.
You need to be aware that:
1. There are differences between posts and pages described here
https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/2. There are differences between static pages we bloggers create https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ that will not automatically update, and dynamic category pages created by the software when you publish a post which will automatically update https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/.
3. We organize posts by category assignment prior to publication. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/ and when we publish posts the dynamic category pages they automatically display on are determined by the categories we assign to them.
So the process you need to use is:
a. Assign Categories to your Posts. https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories
b. Create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#1-create-a-custom-menu
c. Add only the dynamic category page links into the custom menu that you want to appear in that menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-category-pages and arrange them as you wish them to appear https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus
d. Create pages and sub-pages for static content, not for posts https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
e. Add any custom links and other items like static pages and sub-pages into your custom menu
https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-custom-links https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-pages
and arrange them as you wish them to appear https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menusPlease see https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/
