multiple posts on secondary pages?
-
Here is the link our blog. http://thewnc.wordpress.com
As you can see, i have pages for the director, chair and
commissioners. I would like for each group of people listed above
to be able to post articles on their pages.Any idea how the smoke and mirrors work.

Create categories for the director, chair and commissioners. Have them assign those respective categories to their posts.
To be able to create tabs at the top that will lead to those categories, you will have to change themes since the theme you are using will not work with the following trick. In this blog post, only the themes listed in the left column work cleanly for putting links into navigation tabs: http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/03/26/page-tabs-as-external-links/ .
Following the instructions in the blog post, you can create links in the top navigation tabs to the categories, giving the appearance that they have their own blog pages.
And there you have the smoke and mirrors.

I have changed my theme to contempt. I followed the instructions
in the blog post in the link above but it doesnt really tell you
how to link a category to a page tab. Hellllllllllllp -
Yes, it does. Do you have the link to the local category page? You need to go to that category page on your blog, copy the link, and use that as the external link in those instructions.

Me again, i have experimented with what u said above. It almost
works but leaves a blank tab, also the posts still appears on the
home page. Check out this blog that i found. They seem to have
worked it out. I am trying to achieve something like this.

The reason it looks messed up is because Contempt “almost works” with this trick (it’s listed in the center column in that blog post).
If you want it to work cleanly, then you have to use one of the themes listed in the left-hand column. Those work cleanly.
At http://www.thebookofblog.com/ , if you hover your mouse over the tabs at the top and look at the URL in the status bar at the bottom of your browser window, you will see things like http://www.thebookofblog.com/category/blogging/ . They are using categories and linking to those categories in their top navigation tabs, which is exactly what we are suggesting to you.
