  Hi, go to Appearance/Menus and add your pages to the menu. Select primary menu in the menu settings.

  Home page is not a menu. The whole bar is the menu and it can have multiple items added into it. Create a custom menu and include the items such as pages and the sub-pages in it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

  Technically you can’t post to more than one page on any blog but do read on. Static Pages and dynamic Category Pages are not the same. The former cannot automatically update but the latter do.

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/

  If you want to have pages that do update then they must be replaced by dynamic category pages that will automatically update every time you publish a post assigned to the relevant category.

  By default the front page of the blog is the post that displays all posts in your blog. Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.

  We organize posts by assigning categories to them. You can create a custom menu and add the dynamic categories pages into the custom menu.

  Were you able to get your menu set up as you’d like? I’m seeing the menu you called “Home” under Appearance > Menus displaying on your site now, so just let me know if you still need help with anything.
