  I have gone through FAQs and “Getting Started, but I am a novice.

  (1) I successfully added a new page (in addition to “Home” and “About”);
  (2) When I add a new post, it goes to “Home”, whereas what I want is to post it in/on a different page, such as the one that I created.

  Can that be done?
  (A) If so, could you tell me how to do it?
  (B) If not, can you explain to me the need for having new page(s)? What function does a new page (or new pages) serve?

  Thanks,
  Albert Liem

  A page is a form of a content, like a post, so it can’t contain posts itself.

  Think of it like a post that you don’t want to appear with other posts.

  Instead, use your categories and category archive pages.
