  i have many topics that i like to post on my blog however i cant due to the fact that it seems to me that a blog can only have 1 page to post blogs (entries), is that right? is there a way to have multiple pages that i can enter blogs (entries)? example: i want to talk on 1 page about cars and other page about motorcycles and other page about ships. is there a way to have multiple pages that i can post to?

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

  There is only one page in any blog that we can post to and by default it’s the front page of the blog. Though we cannot post to more than one page we can create the appearance we have done so. What’s critical is knowing that the static pages we blogger create will never automatically update. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ Only dynamic Categories pages will automatically update when we publish posts.

  Below is an example of a static page URL. Study it closely and note that no static Page can automatically update.

  Below is an example of a category URL.
  Study it closely please and note that only dynamic category pages can automatically update.

  Setting up a menu is easy as pie, provided you know the differences between Posts and Pages, and the differences between static Pages, (which will never automatically update) and dynamic Categories pages which will automatically update when you publish Posts with Categories assigned to them.

  The relevant support docs for creating custom menus, adding categories and sub-categories pages into it and ordering them to create drop downs are at:

  There are many common errors, misunderstandings and misconceptions when creating custom menus and there are some tweaks you can use to improve your custom menu as well.
