  You cannot post to a page.
  A blog has only one page for posts. It is the only page which automatically changes each time you publish a post: only one dynamic page with posts displayed in reverse chronological order.

  Posts and pages are very different:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

  “Posts on pages”

  You can make a custom navigation menu which will allow readers to choose the topics they are interested in by categorizing your posts and putting links to those categories into a custom menu:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/
  and more info about custom menus:

  As for moving something from your “about” page to another page or post, switch to the text (code) editor and copy what you want to move. Go to your new post or page and paste it into the text (code) editor. Save and preview. Then delete the part you don’t want on the “about” page. update.
