    New blogger, need help! I have been categorizing my blog posts, but I want to create navigation pages at the top of my blog’s home page so that a reader can easily click on one of the categories and be navigated directly to a page with all of the blog posts from that category. I have looked through the help options, and none of them seem to align with what I need OR, if they do, they seem to be for a different version of WordPress than I’m using. Can anyone help? Thanks!

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

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