  In order to make it easier to navigate through my travel blog, I want to create chapters. I can’t figure out how to add a link on an Index page

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

  Hi!

  I want to make sure I have a good idea of what you’re looking for here. Your posts (shown here) are all going to be “chapters.” You’re looking to create a page that lists all of your posts/chapters out individually. Is that correct?

  I’m just trying to get a sense of whether the posts are going to be grouped into chapters or if each post is a chapter.

  I’d like each post be a chapter (or whatever it should be called) so that it will be easy to navigate to each one. I just want to make it easy for someone to start the blog and then easily come back to where they left off — or start where they want to.

  Ah – got it! I think the easiest way to achieve what you’re looking for is through these steps:

  1. Create a new page (not post) following the steps here (titled “Archive” or “Chapters”):

     http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/#create-a-new-page

  2. In that page, enter the following code:

     [display-posts]

  That should display all of your posts in a list so readers can see them all and click on the one they want to read. Can you give that a try? Once we get this up and running, we can customize it as necessary.

  I just attempted this, but was unsure whether [display-posts] should have been in the body, or the title
  I titled the page Archives and put the code in the body
  Was that correct?

  Yep! You should see a list of your posts here:

  One more question — I’m thrilled to see my posts archived, but I wonder why my Elephant Nature Park post doesn’t show? What did I do wrong?Sent from my iPad

  Sorry – the Display Post Shortcode only shows 10 posts by default. I should’ve mentioned that before. Let’s add the following to the current shortcode:

  posts_per_page="100"

  So, the entire code would be:

  [display-posts posts_per_page="100"]

  Can you give that a try?
