  I won’t to use ONE page in my blog and use it to display an essay style/portfolio for assessment. The page is published but password protected because it will contain some work sensitive material.
  I would like this page to look different (i.e. Chapters or sections listed in the nav bar like a book index), in terms of layout to the other pages on my blog and not affect the layout of the other pages.
  Is this possible? I have the basic blog package and have mapped a domain to it.

  This is not possible on your existing blog. Why not create a new blog just for this? You could keep it private and nobody would ever know.

  Thanks for your respone raincoaster.

  Is there no work around for this – if I upgrade and create my own CSS for this page, perhaps?

  There is no workaround for this. You cannot make ONE blog page completely different from the others, particularly navigational tabs. But having more than one blog is no big deal; you can switch to the other blog’s dashboard from anywhere in WP.com you’re signed in. And if you do that, navigational tabs will work; otherwise, they will not. Navtabs need to be attached to specific individual links, which at Wp.com means pages or posts or categories, not just “spots somewhere down the body of the page”.

  And, please. There is no need to get hung up on formatting in the forums.

  I managed to create a workaround, of sorts for my assessors to view.
  I created named anchors on the cmalt page, then added those as links within a category, visit http://ashleywright.org to view it (right hand side column). this is a short term measure until it has been assessed after that I’ll hide or move the content.
