  Hey, so I have made a new website with wordpress (name: Arelle Hug) and I have FIVE pages: Home, Love to cook, Move your body, Passion for fashion, and My story.
  The home page and the My story page I want to edit once and then LEAVE THEM AS BE.
  The other three pages I created I want to continuously write post after post (like blogging) on each separate page about three different topics.
  When I am in editor and I click on add blog/post, they all show up on my HOME page, which I don’t want anything else posted on my home page I want things posted on the other THREE pages (as blogs).
  How can I create new posts and direct them to be published on a certain page (other than my home page)?
  Please let me know asap as this is a project I am doing,
  Thank you.
  Arelle Hug

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

  Hi Arelle.

  Firstly, to set your HOME page up to be a static front page, rather than a posts page, you can follow our step-by-step guide here:

  Set the Homepage

  Next, to have three different pages where you continuously have different posts, you can created category pages as per this guide:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/view-all/

  Category pages pull in posts from a specified category so, for example, you could create a ‘Passion for Fashion’ category and have posts assigned to that category pulled into that page.

  Hope that helps! Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any extra questions around that. :)

  Thank you this was VERY helpful!!
  I was able to create categories and connect them with specific pages.

  One more question I do have now:
  On the 3 pages that I am continually blogging on,
  I want a STATIC POST on the top of the page to ALWAYS STAY at the top of the page (like a page description at the top and all the posts/blogs follow underneath).
  Any idea how I can keep ONE main post at the top of the page?

  Sure! That’s what we call a ‘sticky post.’ Sticky posts will always appear at the top of other posts on the page.

  To mark a post as sticky, firstly head to the post’s editor, click the ‘Advanced Settings’ panel on the left here and then you’ll see a check box to ‘Stick to the front page.’

  Hope that helps out!

  I’ve made the posts as “sticky posts” but they are not staying at the top of the page?
  Every new blog I post get’s put on top still. :/

  Hi there.

  Sorry, this was an oversight on my part. I had assumed that sticky posts worked the same way on category pages as they do for a normal post listing, but was wrong.

  I do have another idea for how you can add a page description though! It’s possible for you to add a description for each of your categories via Posts > Category in WP Admin:

  https://arellehuglove.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category

  On the above page, hover over your category’s name and then select the option to Edit. You’ll see a Description field that you can add to on the resulting page. The description you add will appear towards the top of the category’s page.

  Hope that helps!
