Displaying Blog Posts on Pages
-
We’ve got a blog with several types of recipes that we’d like to display on sub-menued pages in their particular category. I’ve figured out how to set that up in the menu, but I wanted to see if we could display the blog posts on each page as a list, like they’re displayed on the home page. Right now, I can only copy/paste the recipes into the page they belong to… but would rather them be their own posts for people to share.
ThanksThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You assign categories and/or tags to draft posts prior to publishing them. You create a custom menu and include the URLs for the dynamic Categories and/or Tags pages in it and when the draft is published, all posts will be automatically updated on those dynamic pages.
Please read this carefully http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/posts-on-pages/ 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. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/custom-menus/
By default the front page of the blog is the post that displays all posts in your blog in reverse chronological order with the most recent post on top. 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.
Among the most common misconceptions is that bloggers fail to understand is
(1) there is only one page we can post to in any blog and
(2) the static pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ they create do not automatically update.Please read this support doc as Pages and posts http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ are not the same.
Please also read this support doc as Pages (static) https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ and category pages (dynamic) https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/ are not the same.
Only the dynamic pages like Categories, Tags and Archives created by the software when we publish a post we that we have assigned Categories and Tags to will update automatically update with new posts. https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/
We organize posts by assigning categories to them. You can create a custom menu and add the dynamic categories pages into the custom menu.
