  I am a newbie. I set up a menu today and now I want to post essays/photos under my blog or subcategories on my menu. I don’t know how to connect anything. I’m supposed to get a link? I have a child theme but I don’t know how to replace it with my own content.

  Hi there,

  Welcome at WordPress.com! I hope you will have a great experience blogging here. Let me try to help with a couple things.

  now I want to post essays/photos under my blog

  If I understand you correctly, you would like to write a post to your blog.
  You can find a detailed description about how start a new a Post here:
  https://wordpress.com/support/posts/#how-to-create-a-new-post

  After you create a new Post, you will then be taken to the WordPress editor where you can start writing your post. You can immediately start typing your text, add images, and more.
  Here is everything you need to know about the WordPress Editor: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/

  or subcategories on my menu

  With this part, you seem to be referring to how to order your menu items. You can find some details about that here:
  https://wordpress.com/support/menus/#reorder-menu-items

  I don’t know how to connect anything. I’m supposed to get a link? I have a child theme but I don’t know how to replace it with my own content.

  It seems like you are touching on multiple topics in this question.

  It is important to know that there is a difference between Posts and Pages. This guide explains the differences between posts and pages on your WordPress.com site.

  When you are creating your menu, you will be able to choose from the Pages you have created.

  You can also use the page’s permalink. You can learn about them here: https://wordpress.com/support/permalinks-and-slugs/

  I know this might be a lot of information, but we are here to help as you are exploring and more questions come up!

  Happy blogging!
