How to add a post to a page
-
I have a question about how to add a post to a page. For example, I have menus along my blog such as DIYs, Style Tips, etc and then I have my front page to display all the posts I have. How do add my DIYs to the DIY page menu? How do I add my post about transitioning to summer to fall to the Style tip page menu? I want my post to continue to be on the front page of my blog, but I also want the post that are DIYs, Style tips etc to be viewed on the DIYs, Style tips page of my blog. I hope I am explaining this correctly.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

(1) There is only one page we can post to in any blog and
(2) The static pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ we create do not automatically update.Only the dynamic pages like Archives, Categories and Tags created by the software when we publish a post will update automatically update with new posts.
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 pages into the custom menu.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menusWe can also add other items into a custom menu like static Pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-pages but as I said above no static Pages will ever automatically update.
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.

Note: Every one of these is static page that will not ever update automatically.

Thank you for the quick reply. I am new to WordPress and I am still trying to get the hang of it. I want to : “create the appearance that I have posted to more than one page”.

You delete every one of them and create them as Categories that you assign to posts. You then create a custom menu and add the dynamic categories pages into it. I posted those instructions for doing all of that above already.
