    How can I move a post to a new page?
    I am starting a page of food images and can’t figure out how to move posts with such images to that new page.
    Thanks

    You can create a new page, rather than making a new post, put you want to in the page as you would when creating a new post then it says on the side bar Parent, click the drop down and select your food page. That Food link on your main page will now show up as a drop down, check out my blog and scroll over Creative Writing to see what I mean.

    Then on your Food page just link it to the new post.

    If that makes sense…

    Posts and Pages are very different. There is no automatic way to move content on a page to a post and visa versa. The only way to achieve that is by copy and paste. You cannot post to pages. Pages are static and sit outside the blog structure. With WordPress, you use categories to organize posts into subjects and then you can add those categories to your navigation using a custom menu.

    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
    (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 with drop-downs to sub-categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation where normally only Pages tabs are displayed. If you wish you can also include Pages with drop-downs to sub-pages and/or custom links in your custom menu as well. You are in charge of what appears in a custom menu. You choose the order in which to display any and/or all the foregoing in your custom menu. You choose which to display and which to hide. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus

    Also note that if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page for your site, and also create a “blog” page for your posts to display on, but that’s optional.
