    There isn’t anyway to do that at WordPress.com except to copy and paste the content and then copy and paste the comments adding in the email address, name, etc.

    Use your categories to make a custom menu.

    Pages are static and not meant to be used for posts. Pages have no dates and cannot be tagged or categorized. Posts are shown automatically on your one dynamic blog post page: they can be assigned to tags and categories and that dynamic page updates each and every time you make a new article.

    Please read this very informative article, including the requisite reading about post categories and the differences between pages and posts:

    Please also study the information in support documents about custom menus:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/
    and this very useful post about custom menus:

    A great reason to use posts rather than pages is that search engines find new information and with tags and categories they can find the new articles easily and thus direct readers to your site.
