Creating multiple headers

    i have a blog, at the moment everything is under home. Every post I have ever done is on the main page when you open my blog.
    This works fine, but I want to talk about multiple things. My blog is about travel, yoga and going vegan.
    I don’t want them all to be mixed together.
    Is there an easy way to split them out?
    Maybe have a homepage, then a page where all the posts are about travel, another for yoga and another for Veganism?
    That way, everything i write about my travels will be under one header etc etc.
    I have been trying to figure it out and i have figured out that I can’t just have a page because you can’t have multiple posts.
    I thought that having a custom link page would work but I don’t think that this is the right thing to do.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated… I want to have 3 separate pages where I can publish multiple posts on the different subjects.
    Thanks in advance.

    This works fine, but I want to talk about multiple things. My blog is about travel, yoga and going vegan.
I don't want them all to be mixed together.
Is there an easy way to split them out?

    There are many ways you can have your posts separated , one of the most common ways is to have categories ,
    Here is some information on categories
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/

    You could create categories as Travel , Yoga , etc and
    have them on your Primary , you can customize your menu , and have some of them linked to categories .

    Also there is a way where you can even tag your posts and it would be easy for people to separate out as well , you can have a tags widget , for more information just go through these

    Thank you so much for your reply. I am such a technical idiot, I don’t know why I even thought this was a good idea. haha
    I still don’t get it. Why do I have 2 completely different screens where I can change things. I have a version where the dashboard is all black and then a version where it is all light blue like the word press logo. Where am I meant to change things?
    I have changed things on both and it has changed on my website, but now I have just made amendments on the black page and nothing has happened to the website.

    Right,

    I now have 3 headers…

    Home
    Travel & Yoga
    My Vegan Diaries

    I have set it up so any new posts go under the ‘Travel % Yoga’ header, but what do I do when I want to do posts about Veganism?

    How can I write a post so it just goes to that area of the blog?

    Thanks again… this is driving me crazy but your help is awesome.

    Hi Again ,
    Dont worry Jak , I understand what you are going through , am sure you ll get used to it ones you start getting the hang of it.
    About the Blue and and Black Screen , The Blue and White screen is called the Calypso and the Black screen is the WP -Admin , I suggest you use the Calypso here onwards , as that is better version .
    Now from what I can see you have set up to more options on your Menu , Which is the Travel&Yoga and also Veganism,
    I hope you have set up these 2 and linked them as categories.
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

    If your Menu and categories are linked correctly you can start organizing your Posts ,
    Whenever you add a New Post , you would have choose the categories on the Calypso you would find them on the left hand side here is a link to give you a better Idea , the video will show you details too
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#publish-a-new-post

    Also the good news is you can Edit posts and also assign categories so , they can get organized in the right section you want them too.
