how to post a message to a page
-
I am a new blogger, just started today. I started a blog to make reviews of products and giveaways. I have read a lot in the support and guides and can’t figure out how to post a message to a specific page on my blog. For example, one of the pages across the top of my blog is “giveaways” I want to make a post with picture of the product and my review of it and info on the give away that goes to the home page but also appears on that page as well. Can anyone help explain how this can be done? I found the info on how to mark a post as a category but that isn’t making it show up on the page just along the right side if someone picks that category-i want them to be able to click on the giveaways page and see all the posts that i have made that involve giveaways..
thanks to anyone who can help me!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

This can be done by creating a custom menu.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/Pages are static. They sit outside of the blog structure and you cannot post to multiple pages in any blog. There is only one main page for posts in a blog and all posts will show on the main blog page. There is no way to exclude posts from the main posts (blog) page.
What’s critical is:
(1) a clear comprehension of the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
(2) a clear comprehension of the fact that there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. But we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page. We organize posts by assigning categories to them. You can either put the categories widget into the sidebar, or you can create a custom menu and add the categories into the custom menu.
