How can I create a ‘sub blog’?
-
I would like to create a ‘sub blog’ within my blog. I guess I would describe it as another category or such. One that I can create individual posts on daily, and they won’t appear in my main blog’s posts, but only in the sub blogs posts.
Example, right now if I created a post, it would appear as http://myoriginalblog.wordpress.com/newpost
What I would like to see in this ‘sub blog’ is http://myoriginalblog.wordpress.com/subblog/newpost
Halp?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There is no way to alter the way permalinks to posts here work, and there is also no way for new posts NOT to show up on the main blog page. If you want, you can set a static Page as your blog’s front, and then link to the category pages individually, but that’s about your only option for “hiding” certain posts, unless you want to date them all to five years ago or something. That would work, dating all the posts in a category five years ago.

Can’t be done at wordpress.COM. It could be done with a wordpress.ORG self-hosted blog if you are good with PHP scripting.
Why not create a second blog for those posts and then have a link to that blog in the original blog. With some themes, you could even put a link to it in the top navigation if you wished: http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/03/26/page-tabs-as-external-links/ . Note that this trick works with all themes from the pages widget.

As far as I can tell, the Five Years Ago workaround would work, although not on the RSS feed, I don’t think. By changing the date of all posts in that category by exactly the same amount, they’d stay in order, as well.

Many thanks. How would I set a static page to my blog? Is there still a way of keeping both categories separate?
