  Hi! need to have blog posts under different pages. Is that possible? I’ve also lost my “home” link, in all the playing around I’ve done trying to get the right menus/pages. How do I get that back? What is the difference between a menu and a page?
  Thanks!

  You cannot post to a page. Your blog has only one dynamic page which contains the ever-growing number of posts on your blog.

  Posts and pages are very different. It’s important to understand that difference!

  You can assign categories to pages.

  Then you use categories to organize your posts. You can use a custom menu to link to the categories of your post on your blog. These links will look sort-of like pages, though they are category archives.

  A menu is nothing like a page. It’s the way a reader can navigate from one topic to another. It can include both static pages and categories of your posts. It’s like an index.
