How to add posts to multiple pages
-
Hello, I currently have posts assigned to one page on my blog, but I’d like to set up a second page or tab and be able to assign different posts there as well, but as it stands I can only assign posts to a single page. Is there a way around this?

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.

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.

I think I came here to ask the same question, so sorry I can’t be of help, but the problem for me is that I make new pages but I can’t figure out how to post to a specific page other than my original “main” page.

Thanks for you input Timethief, I appreciate it! I’ll read through all of your links tonight.

That’s my issue exactly Matthew. I know how to make new pages but I can only add posts to one of them that I assign. So if I want to for example set up a Apples page and an Oranges page, I can only chose to post to one or the other.

Unless you are crystal clear on the fact that only dynamic Category Pages will update when you publish posts assigned to them you will continue to have issues getting your head around how to accomplish what you want to do.
Please read this first Post vs. Page http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
(1) There is only one page we can post to in any blog.
(2) The static pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ we bloggers 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 Page that displays all posts in your blog. You can create a static front page and have your published posts display on another page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ but doing that does not change what follows.
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.
This guide will walk you through how to create category pages for your blog, to display groupings of similar posts on pages other than your front page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/
Create a custom menu

Add dynamic categories and sub-categories pages to it
