Need theme suggestions
-
I have a new site under construction about Books. What I need the theme to do is give me three areas (links?) with the titles: Book Reviews, Short Stories and My Books. When someone clicks on one of those, they should be directed to a new page with someone’s book review post on it or page/post with a short story. My Books will be a link to buy one of the books I’ve written. I anticipate many reviews/stories so I need to be able to add multiple files under the main heading. I also need a blog. I hope this terrific community can give me some ideas of some specific themes that will work.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there. You can do this with any theme, and with any theme you’ll need to set this up yourself. You can have posts on common topics appear under specific menu headings by creating category pages. At the same time you will have your home/blog page where ALL posts will appear, whether they’re in a category page or not. Read these for more information and instructions:

http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/custom-menus/You can also use the custom menu to include links to your own books on Amazon (or wherever) or set up regular pages for each of your books and sort them under one menu heading using the custom menu.
If you haven’t yet, I also suggest you work through the “Learn WordPress” support doc (http://learn.wordpress.com/) and the “Video Quick Start” tutorial (http://en.support.wordpress.com/video-quick-start/).

Hi kokkieh,
I want to thank you for responding to my request for help. This is my fourth WordPress website to design but this particular setup is unique. The sites you referenced were a great help. It is people like you who give people like me the ability to create our websites. Thank you!
Susan
