    I assigned category names to posts after I had already published. How do I get the posts to show up under the category names? I would like for viewers to be able to click on the category name in the menu and see what I have posted there. Example:

    If some clicks on “Archives”, I want them to see a list of my posts. How do I do this?

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

    Please see here for assigning categories to posts at the time of their creation. If you have not done that then you need to edit the posts and assign categories to them.

    Staff have provided help for those who want to structure their blog like a website. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

    What’s critical is:
    (1) a clear comprehension of the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
    (2) a clear comprehension of the fact that there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. But we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.

    We organize our posts by assigning Categories to them. When we publish a post it automatically appears on the running page for posts and also on the Categories pages and Archives pages. Note: There must be one published post in each Category in order for there to be anything to display.

    A custom menu allows you to display Categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation where normally only Pages tabs are displayed. If you wish you can also include Pages and custom links in your custom menu as well.

    These are the how-to instructions:

    Archives can be displayed either by (1) creating a static page and using the Archives shortcode and then including that page in your custom menu, (2) or by using the Archives widget in the footer of your theme.
