How do I post to a page on my blog?
-
I’ve created a few pages on my new blog. How do I post to a particular page? All of my posts seem to go to one page – the first one. What am I doing wrong?

ronin *ahem* – Well now if you had read the forum postings you would have found the thread started yeaterday that provided the answer to your question today but you asked nicely so here’s your life line
[she said with a grin] :)dashboard – > options -> reading -> ->reading options -> front page
front page – change to the page you would prefer :)

I think your question is how to make individual pages, right?
If so then go to Dashboard; Write; Write Page;
Whatever you post should show up on a new page.

Posts and Pages (note the capital letters there) are two entirely seperate items with WordPress.
Posts are the normal diary articles that show up on your blog’s home page when your write Posts. You can create these at Dashboard -> Write -> Write Posts.
Pages are articles seperatly create from Posts and show up on their own pages. You can create these at Dashboard -> Write -> Write Pages. Do note that these do not have datestamps, categories, or comments attached to them.
Hope this helps,

Another newbie here, but I’m not seeing how to post a particular blog to a particular page.

Not a clue what you’re trying to do, ecohomo. Maybe giving us an example would help. Especially since you would be creating a page with a blog, not teh other way around.

Hi guys. I have the same question and from everyone’s answer I still don’t get it. I would like to have a few posts listed under a certain page and only under that page. I don’t mind if the posts are listed in the categories but I don’t want some posts to appear on the main page but rather be listed under one of the pages. Almost like a different blog on each page. Is there a way or plug-in to do that?
Much thanks,

Sounds like your hosted off of the WordPress.com site. If that’s correct, you need to be over there for assistance. We’re running different software than you are.
Your best bet though would be to create a Page and then do subPages under that. That’s as close to what you’re talking about. Either that or just add the new text into a Page.
Good luck,

thanks for your reply drmike. I’m hosted by wordpresss at adtip.org, I just didn’t add the site to the profile. I’m just starting over here. Creating a sub=page changes my page menu. I don’t want to change the site’s menu, I just want to have certain posts appear in certain pages. does anyone know if there’s a hack or a plug-in for that? thanks. a.

Wordpress.og and wordpress.com are completely different. We do not have optional plug-ins here in wordpress.com. You missed what drmike was directing to do please go over here for support http://wordpress.org/support/ -
I have been reading this thread and I think that there is some misunderstanding. I am trying to do something similar (I think) to avniassa, but I don’t see an answer on how to do it. The goal is to be able to write posts that don’t necessarily show up on the front page, but, since they are categorized, show up in http://blogname.wordpress.com/tag/categoryname/ automatically when I post to that category.
A Page doesn’t solve this, since, as far as I can tell, you can’t post to a Page, so in order to have a Page that represents my category, I would need to manually update that Page every time I wanted to post to it.
What would work, is to set the front page up so that it only showed posts that were posted to a category called “posts”. That way, when I post and I want that post to be on the front page, I’ll categorize it with the category “posts” and if I don’t want it to be on the front page, I’ll use a diferent category.
(I know that was long-winded, but I’m trying to be clear)
Thanks for all of your help,

G’morning
I’m sorry but what you want to achieve isn’t possible. What you describe isn’t what blogs are designed to do.
Please understand that you do not post to a category. You post to an automatically updating “posts” page. And you assign categories to pages, not the other way around.
Although you can have as many static pages as you choose to create, you can have only one page designated as your “front” page, which you may or may not choose to also designate as your “posts” page. You can have only one page designated as your automatically updating “posts” page, which can but does not have to be your “front” page.
As you cannot have multiple “posts” pages, every post you publish will be displayed on the page you designate as your automatically updating “posts” page. You cannot change this via the use of categories. -
Thanks a lot. Now I know what is and isn’t posible, I can come up with a good solution for what I need from there.
