  How do I get individual posts to appear under one page that has a link at the top of my blog? Second question: How do I create individual links to them down the side of the page? Can both or either of these things be done without buying the premium package? If I buy the premium package can I do both? Thanks.

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

  I think that you are asking how to create a custom menu.

  You have two choices for post display in any blog.
  (1) All posts on the front page.
  (2) A static front page and posts on a different page.

  By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors.

  However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts.

  To do that create two pages first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

  After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.

  A static page (select below)
  Front page:
  Posts page:

  re: custom menu
  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 (and sub-category pages) that will automatically update every time you publish a post assigned to the relevant category and/or sub-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 and sub-categories pages into the custom menu, and order them as you wish.

  Second question: How do I create individual links to them down the side of the page?

  I think what you are asking is how to install a Recent Posts widget in a sidebar. See here http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/recent-posts-widget/

  Once the custom menu or menus are created, you may add custom menu widgets to the sidebar.
