How do I separate my posts so that they aren't all on one page?

  Organizing posts into groups. I want to tidy up my page, but all I have is a long list of posts. It’s not very easy to find anything. I made an about me page, but there is no link anywhere on the blog. I just want to get things a bit more organized.

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

  The way a blog works is that all your posts appear on the home page, most recent first. This is called your blog’s main feed. You can hide this feed by creating a static home page or by simply removing the home page via a custom menu, but I won’t advise it as many readers like scrolling through your main feed to get a general idea as to the types of posts you write. Create a static front page if you prefer, but have your main feed available somewhere else so readers can still access it. Instruction here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  You can also have pages display all posts from a certain category. You do this by using a custom menu to create category pages. See here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

  Adding an Archives widget, sorted by either category or date, can also help visitors to more easily find specific posts, as can a search widget: http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/archives-widget/

  I can see the link to your about page very clearly in the menu right below your header image. When I click on it, it goes to a page containing a photo of you.

  Hello and thank you for responding. I think one of the problems that I was having was the theme that I was using. The layout wasn’t giving me what I wanted, so I changed it. The things you posted, I will have to go and look into and see what I can do with them. Thank you again for the help!
