I want to add posts to seperate pages

    I can see in my mind how I want my wordpress blog to be.

    Main page consisiting of “featured posts” about things I love, etsy finds etc etc etc.

    An “About” page who, what when where and why that doesn’t change

    An “email me” page with a blurb about how I love getting emails and a link to my email address.

    A “project page” with photos that can be updated as projects progress

    A “My Store” page with links to my Etsy store or whoever I am selling with at the time

    and finally
    A “rants, raves and ramblings” page where i can blog daily about more personal stuff. It has to be updatable often as I love to jabber.

    So far I cannot figure out how to manuever the project and rambling pages. It seems pages are one time only things. I cant add new posts to a page without just editing the previous entry to include the new one. So no new tags or date.

    Does this make any sense written out?

    Do any of you have any solutions to this or am I expecting to much from wordpress?

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

    You cannot post to pages. Pages are static and sit outside the blog structure. Staff have provided help for those who want to structure their blog like a website. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

    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 our posts by assigning Categories to them. When we publish a post it automatically appears on the running page for posts and also on the Categories pages and Archives pages. Note: There must be one published post in each Category in order for there to be anything to display.

    A custom menu allows you to display Categories with drop-downs to sub-categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation where normally only Pages tabs are displayed. If you wish you can also include Pages with drop-downs to sub-pages and custom links in your custom menu as well. You choose the order in which to display the foregoing in your custom menu. You choose which to display and which to hide.

    These are the how-to instructions:
