How to Post from Blackberry to a Particular Page of My Blog?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello, WordPress folks; MrBart2112 here, posting on WordPress as Codex10168.

    How can I send a posting from my blackberry to a particular page of my blog? I’ve got the blog set up already with a “secret” email address so that it can post on the home page, but I’d like to be able to post to a particular page within the blog. I imagine there’s a way to get a “secret” email address for each of the pages, but I can’t figure out how to do it.

    Thanks!…Codex10168 (http://www.mrbart2112.wordpress.com)

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Blog posts don’t go on Pages. They are entirely different things.

    Pages vs. Posts

    What do you mean by “particular page”? Setting aside Archives and Categories, there is only one running page for posts in a blog which will automatically update when we publish our posts. Unless we change that to another static page here > Settings > Reading then it’s the front page of the blog. When we publish the posts appear in reverse chronological order with the most recent post on top. So if your are asking “can I post to a page”? the answer is “no”.

    Also note that relying on codex entries is not the way to go at wordpress.com as it’s for wordpress.org software Please read this entry > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    Thanks for your email, timethief.

    What I mean by “particular page” is that on my blog, there a “home”–page, for lack of a better word–that serves as the destination when you go to http://www.mrbart2112.wordpress.com. Then there’s also a “Banjo” button that appeared when I set up a page within that blog. You press the “Banjo” button and you go to a different page. I set up a “GArt” page and a “Food/Exercise” page in just the same way. They all seem to be within the blog itself.

    What I want to do is post to one of those pages or the other within that blog.

    You mention “codex entries”…I don’t know what this means. My user name on wordpress is Codex10168, that’s what I was referring to in my original post. I gather that the word codex has some special meaning within wordpress?

    Codex10168 here again–I think I’ve got it figured out, based on the “post-vs-page” article provided. Thanks!…Codex10168.

    OOPS! Sorry about the username confusion. The support documentation for wordpress.ORG software is called The Codex.

    I did not email you. Someone on Staff “MrWordpress” is emailing some of those who post to this peer support forum for help rather than posting solutions into the forum threads.

    What I want to do is post to one of those pages or the other within that blog.

    We cannot “post” to static pages. They sit outside the blog structure. They do not automatically update. They cannot have categories and tags assigned to them. They have very little Google juice. They are intended to be used for contant that rarely if ever changes. The only method of “updating” is manually by editing.

    If you wish you can change the running page (front page) to another static page. When you do that all your posts will appear on that page instead of your front page. See > Settings > Reading
