  I want to post new messages and they want to appear in my specified columns and not in the HOME. This post also needs to be notified to my FOLLOWERS. How can we do this?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Only posts (not pages) appear in your RSS Feed. Pages are static. They sit outside of the blog structure and you cannot post to multiple pages in any blog. There is only one main page for posts in a blog, by default it is the front page of your blog, and all posts will show on the main blog page. There is no way to exclude posts from the main posts (blog) page.

  What’s critical is:
  (1) a clear comprehension of the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
  (2) a clear comprehension of the fact that there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. But we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page. We organize posts by assigning categories to them. You can either put the categories widget into the sidebar, or you can create a custom menu and add the categories into the custom menu.

  There are many common errors, misunderstanding and misconceptions when creating custom menus and you can read about them here > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/custom-menus/

  If you do not want all the posts to show on the main page, then you can create a static front page for your site.
  Choice 1 static front page.
  Choice 2 running page for all posts on front page.

  Which do you choose? It’s one or the other. If you choose Choice 1 static front page then you have to create two pages. One for the static front page which you can call anything you choose example “Welcome”, and one for the blog posts to appear on which you can call anything you choose example “Blog”. After you do that you go here . Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/
