Creating a Page that shows blog post (separate from the home page)
-
My homepage shows the full stream of blog posts. However, I would like to add a page to the main menu called “Recipes” and when the user visits that page, they would only see blog posts that I have categorized as “Recipes”. Currently I have links on that page to my recipe posts but I want when people to the Recipe page it shows the full stream of my recipe post
Is there a way to filter my blog posts on the page to only show a specific category or tag?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Please read this first Post vs. Page http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/(1) There is only one page we can post to in any blog.
(2) The static pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ we bloggers create do not automatically update.Only the dynamic pages like Archives, Categories and Tags created by the software when we publish a post will update automatically update with new posts.
By default the front page of the blog is the Page that displays all posts in your blog. You can create a static front page and have your published posts display on another page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ but doing that does not change what follows.
Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.
This guide will walk you through how to create category pages for your blog, to display groupings of similar posts on pages other than your front page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/
Create a custom menu

Create order and sub-menus (dropdowns)

There are many common errors, misunderstandings and misconceptions when creating custom menus and there are some tweaks you can use to improve your custom menu as well.

Krystal,
From what I can tell, your site is a self-hosted WordPress site hosted on BlueHost. Not sure you knew, but these forums are for sites hosted on WordPress.com.
The info at http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/ may be helpful to you.

@krystalskorner Glad it helped. Best wishes on your new blog.
@timethief Sure! Merry Christmas to you too. I had started a response to the question, then checked the page source and discovered she had a self-hosted site.
