  Hey there!

  I think it’s a great idea, and it’s absolutely doable.

  You will need to create categories (ie: Red and Blue), and then assign the appropriate posts to them. Then, you’ll add those categories (not pages) to the menu.

  He is a link to instructions that will walk you through the setup:

  And, if you need more information about how to create a custom menu, here you go:

  That should do the trick! If I can help in any other way, please drop me a line. Cheers :)

  ps one more question, i activated the free premium trial, im interested in buying the 1 year premium after and changed the web adress in an adres without the wordpress part in it, does that mean that it wont get publised on the readers site of wordpress anymore and do the facebook reverels etc. dont funtion anymore, because in the stats nobody is reading my newest post, and i know people did?

  do you have any idea? @thatrobyn

  Hello there!

  If you do decide to purchase the Premium upgrade, that will not impact how your site is seen in the WordPress.com Reader, or your posts publicizing on Facebook, or you stats. Everything will work exactly as it did before. You won’t have any interruption in service.

  I hope this is helpful information for you. Let me know if I can answer any other questions. Wishing you all the best….and thank you so much for all your kind words. That made me feel great! :)
