How do I set up a page so the posts are separate rather than one continuous page

  I would like to have each page that I’ve set up have it’s own stories. For example you go to the page “Civil Rights 2.0” and there are multiple stories there related to that topic. I can’t figure out how to do that though. I only see that I can add stories to the page and it’s like one large continuous post, where as I would like them separate and readers can click and choose what they want to read.

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

  Hello there,

  Technically you can’t post to more than one page on any blog but do read on. Static Pages and dynamic Category Pages are not the same. The former cannot automatically update but the latter do.

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/

  If you want to have pages that do update then they must be dynamic category pages (and sub-category pages) that will automatically update every time you publish a post assigned to the relevant category and/or sub-category.

  By default the front page of the blog is the post that displays all posts in your blog. Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.

  We organize posts by assigning categories to them. You can create a custom menu and add the dynamic categories and sub-categories pages into the custom menu, and order them as you wish.

  First you add categories to Posts.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/

  Then you create a custom menu.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

  And you add the dynamic category pages into it

  NOTE: Until you actually assign categories to relevant posts the dynamic category pages will have no data that can be displayed on them.

  There are many misunderstandings and misconceptions when it comes to custom menus. I suggest you read these two posts I link to below.
