  I am in the process of putting together a baking blog. I would like to have a recipe menu that when you click it your brought to a page with just pictures and descriptions. Then when someone likes a item and wants to see the recipe they can click the pictures and are brought to the recipe. How am I to do that?

  Hi @cusworthycakes, there are a few ways to go about it. First, you’ll want to add posts in different categories with featured images, and excerpts for descriptions:
  https://wordpress.com/support/excerpts/

  Then, you could set up a category page.
  https://wordpress.com/support/posts/categories/#category-pages-menus

  For this, though, I’d recommend switching themes to one that supports excerpts and images only. Most of these will work well:
  https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/blog-excerpts

  Or, you can use create pages, and use a Blog Posts Block to just show certain posts from a category wherever you’d like, on any page:
  https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/blog-posts-block/

  That has an option to show the image and excerpt, too.

  Does that help? If not, send more details and we’ll go from there.
