Moving post to a different page
-
I created a new page today and a new post on that page. Now, I found a post from a year ago that really belongs on the newly created page. How do I move the post?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Post and Pages are different. Read https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
(1) All posts on the front page.
(2) Or a static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page you create and designate as a front page.By default the front page of a blog displays all published posts in reverse chronological order with the most recently published post on top.
When we publish a post on WordPress software the software automatically creates the same entry in the Archives, and on the dynamic (automatically updating) Categories and Tags pages in accord with the Categories and Tags we assign to that post.
So when we create custom menu and add the dynamic (automatically updating) category pages to that custom menu we create the appearance (not the reality) of posting to more than one page.
You need to be aware that:
1. There are differences between posts and pages described here
https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/2. There are differences between static pages we bloggers create https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ that will not automatically update, and dynamic category pages created by the software when you publish a post which will automatically update https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/.
3. We organize posts by category assignment prior to publication. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/ and when we publish posts the dynamic category pages they automatically display on are determined by the categories we assign to them.
So the process you need to use is:
a. Assign Categories to your Posts. https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories
b. Create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#1-create-a-custom-menu
c. Add only the dynamic category page links and category sub-pages into the custom menu that you want to appear in that menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-category-pages, and arrange them in the order that you wish them to appear in https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus
d. Create pages and sub-pages for static content that rarely changes like About, Copyright, Contact Info, etc. , not for posts https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
e. Add any custom links and other items like static pages and sub-pages for static content that rarely changes into your custom menu
https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-custom-links https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-pages
and arrange them in the order that you wish them that you wish them to appear in https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menusPlease see https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

I am totally aware of the differences between Pages and Posts. I chose my new Post to be UNCATEGORIZED; I made that category on purpose because I knew I would be postic off-topic; posts that diverted from the actual content and purpose of the blog.
So, my new post was made on the newly created page called ETC. After reading old posts, I noticed there was another post called “A shameless plug for my business.” I realized it should also be on the ETC. Page. I want to keep things as they are as far as new posts showing on the HOME Page. Occasionally, I want the option to move a post.
Is there a way to go into Archive and move the post to my new Page?
I looked everywhere for a way to make this happen.
