How to organise posts (not pages) in menu management
-
I’m using the Writr theme and have three widgets and menus. I have published two posts. The first post showed when I went to ‘appearance’ ‘menu’ in the ‘recent section’ making it easy to organise. The second post will not show, in fact now it seems that only pages show in menu management and not posts.
I would like my posts to sit neatly under my left hand menu, any help please?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I am guessing what you really are asking is: how do I create a custom menu.
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 replaced by dynamic category pages that will automatically update every time you publish a post assigned to the relevant 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 pages into the custom menu.

Yes, that’s exactly the way the theme is designed to operate. See here http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/writr/

Hugely helpful, thank you. This is exactly what I need.
