New posts on additional pages?
-
Hello! I’ve found documents that answer parts of my question, but nothing comprehensive. So, here goes!
1. I’ve created new pages correctly, and categorized relevant posts correctly (thanks to your helpful tutorials!)
2. Is it possible to add new posts to these pages? Or is the only option to create a static page?
3. If yes, how?
4. If no, is there a way to have relevant posts show up on relevant pages? Or is it only possible to add a new post to the “post page?”THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

The accurate answer to your question is “you can’t post to more than one page in a blog but you can create the appearance that your have done that.”
This explains the differences between posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
Pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ that we bloggers create are static ie. they do not automatically update with new content. But there are dynamic pages which are automatically created by the software when we publish a post ie. categories, tags, archives pages will update).
There is only one dynamic page for posts that automatically updates in a blog and all posts will display on that page. There is no way to exclude posts from the main posts (blog) page. By default the front page of the blog will display your posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. If you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/
We can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page but creating a custom menu and including dynamic pages which are automatically created by the software when we publish a post. We organize posts by assigning Categories to them. You can create a custom menu and add the dynamic categories pages created by the software into the custom menu. Note that until there is one published post in any category there is nothing that can be displayed on the dynamic categories pages
