  Directing posts to different pages. On karenzeigler.com I have 2 types of posts – quotes and youtube video’s. I have established 2 pages to reflect that. Instead of having all posts go to a single page (home) I would like to be able to designate which page it should go to Quotes or Video’s. Unable to find that in your FAQ’s.

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

  You need to understand that posts and pages are very different. You cannot post to a page. There is only one main page for posts in a blog and all posts will display on the main blog page. There is no way to exclude posts from the main posts (blog) page. What you do is assign categories to your posts then make a custom menu to link to your various categories.

  Here’s a link to a custom menu walkthrough > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/08/11/wordpress-com-custom-menu-walk-through/
