Help with a re-format!

Hi there, I have a blog.. http://fas1710.wordpress.com/
I have many pages up on there which I want to sort out in such a way that they are under 2 or three seperate links.
For example… this blog is for my university work and I have worked through year 1 and year 2. So on the main page, I want a year 1 link and a year 2 link and then these links will take me to another page where i can have a list of all the works which I have created (which will be the pages i already have on the main page)… can anybody help me do this, or what is the quickest way to do this? Thank you!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

How about posting your first year assignments as a blog post under “first year” category, and similar for the second year?
You can link to those categories top page from your home page. -
Yeh, thats what im trying to get at..I want it to link from the first page..but I don’t know how to do this without it taking forever…
I want the first page to have year 1..and once i click here, i want a new page to have a list of new links to each assignment, rather than have alll the year one assignments on one page.. is this possible?

You confusion is stemming from the fact that you do not understand what the design and normal structure and functionality of a blog is. Blogs are intended to have a post based structure. They are not intended to have a page based structure. If you create a page based structure then your blog will have a heck of a time getting search engine attention, as well as, attracting backlinks and earning a PageRank.
A blog has only one running page for running Posts that your published posts will appear on in reverse chronological order after publication – not two, not three – just one. That page is the front page unless you create a static page and change it.
What you need to do is simple. Publish posts and assign categories to them. They will be automatically displayed on your front page with the most recent post at the top. When any reader clicks a category in the Categories widget in your sidebar they will locate all posts in the same category.
It’s really important for those who are new to blogging to understand that Posts and static Pages are very different. Posts are what blogs are all about. Blogs are intended to have a post based structure and posts have lots of Google juice. They get lost of search spider attention. They can have categories and tags assigned to them.
Static pages sit outside the blog structure. they are intended to be used for information that rarely, if ever, changes. They cannot be automatically updated. The only way to change information on them is by editing. They have very little Google juice and they cannot have categories and tags assigned to them.
