  Hello,

  I’m currently trying to archive a few of my blogs so it doesn’t over fill my front page.

  I’ve managed to create a drop down menu with some of them in but i’d like to delete a few of them from my front page now.

  How can i delete them from my front page without deleting them from the drop down menu and completely deleting them forever.

  Thanks

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

  I believe you are confused. The software does the archiving automatically.

  We set the number of posts we want to display here > Dashboard > Settings > Reading
  Blog pages show at most _ posts.

  By default the front page of a blog displays all published posts in reverse chronological order with the most recently published post on top. When we publish a post on WordPress software the software automatically creates the same entry in the Archives, and on the dynamic (automatically updating) Categories and Tags pages in accord with the Categories and Tags we assign to that post.

  So when we create custom menu and add the dynamic (automatically updating) category pages to that custom menu we create the appearance (not the reality) of posting to more than one page.

  You need to be aware that:

  1. There are differences between posts and pages described here
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  2. There are differences between static pages we bloggers create https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ that will not automatically update, and dynamic category pages created by the software when you publish a post which will automatically update https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/.

  3. We organize posts by category assignment prior to publication. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/ and when we publish posts the dynamic category pages they automatically display on are determined by the categories we assign to them.

  So the process you need to use is:

  1. Assign Categories to your Posts. https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/
  2. Create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#1-create-a-custom-menu
  3. Add the dynamic category page links into the custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-category-pages
