Making news item appear on home pay
-
I’ve posted an item in Recent News that I’d like to have on my home page, too, but I can’t see how to do that. Any help would be appreciated.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

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.

Thanks for the information, timethief. I’m not the usual administrator (filling in while that person is out of town), so I don’t want to make major changes to the configuration of the site. I’m more accustomed to website services that have a checkbox that let you add a news post to the home page (so that it appears in both places). I’m not finding such a thing on WordPress, and, from your response, I’m guessing it doesn’t exist? So I have to post an item separately on the home page? Thanks again.
