    Hi, so I just created a blog where I want to publish different things. So in my menu I have a link to my About Me, Poetry, etc. I also have a link to my daily journals.
    Here is my question:
    I don’t want my daily journals to be published directly on my homepage unless I choose to (or not at all, I don’t care) because I feel it would be clustering my page
    I jut want it to be kept in the menu bar under the daily journals if people want to read that specifically.
    Is that possible

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

    You have two choices.
    (1) All posts on the front page.
    (2) A static front page and posts on a different page.

    By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors.

    However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts.

    To do that create two pages first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

    After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

    A static page (select below)
    Front page:
    Posts page:

    Technically you can’t post to more than one page on any blog but do read on. Static Pages and dynamic Category Pages are not the same. The former cannot automatically update but the latter do.
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/

    If you want to have pages that do update then they must be replaced by dynamic category pages (and sub-category pages) that will automatically update every time you publish a post assigned to the relevant category and/or sub-category.

    By default the front page of the blog is the post that displays all posts in your blog. 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.

    We organize posts by assigning categories to them. You can create a custom menu and add the dynamic categories and sub-categories pages into the custom menu, and order them as you wish.
