Newbie ques: Internal Links

You can’t. Pages sit outside the blog structure and can’t be put into categories.
-
You can use categories on your POSTS, though. They’re different from Pages. Read these two things from the FAQ:

I want to be able to link one part of a page to another part of a page. The top would list chapters, and they’d be linked to their location down below. Is this possible on WP? I found “How to create a book” but I don’t think that’s exactly what I want to do.
-
I’m not exactly clear on what you are asking. You can insert a link in the first page to the second one but I don’t know of a way to link from only part of a page to only part of a another page. http://faq.wordpress.com/2007/07/01/how-to-write-links/

People have requested page jumps before, and apparently it’s not possible with what we’ve got here, not even with Custom CSS.
-
Ummm I didn’t think that was what was meant. If so then “yes” we can have “page jumps” AKA “anchor tags” on wordpress.com blogs http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/07/06/how-do-i-page-jump/

Is there a way to create new Categories and post to the Category so that the new entry shows up ONLY in the dedicated category? I don’t want every post to show up as part of the regular blog on the Home Page. This is probably something simple, but I’ve missed it (clueless rookie).
-
No. There is no way to post ONLY to the category page and not to the main blog page. Blog posts go on the main blog page, and they may go elsewhere as well. That’s how WordPress.com blogs are set up.
-
Short answer: No there isn’t.
Longer answer: A blog has only one page that will automatically update with each new post you make. No other pages are dynamic. They sit outside the blog structure. They are intended for static content that rarely if ever changes and they can only be updated by editing.
Alternative: You can hire a web host and download a free template from wordpress.org and hack it to suit.
-
Yes, but all the posts will still be in the blog page as well; they won’t ONLY appear on the categories page as requested, unless there’s some way to hide the blog page itself that I’m unaware of.
-
I don’t know what you mean by the blog page. The home page will only contain static content. The cats only appear when called. That is what the user wants yes?
-
The user doesn’t want the posts to appear on the BLOG per se at all; only on the category posts. S/he doesn’t seem to want the blog itself at all, just the category pages.
-
well, if you don’t have a link to the “blog” page available (i.e. only have category pages available), then wouldn’t that work?
-
I don’t want every post to show up as part of the regular blog on the Home Page.
Seems straight forward. But God knows…………….

A: No(2) I don’t want every post to show up as part of the regular blog on the Home Page.
To be clear this is not a slice and dice separate sheep from goats situation. This is an all posts on one page scenario. Only one page on a blog will automatically update with each new posts you make.You can change which page the posts are displayed on and that’s it.
You can create as many other static pages as you choose. But they are not dynamic and will not automatically update.

A: NoTT could I just re write this question?
(1) Is there a way to create new Categories and post to the Category so that the new entry shows up ONLY in the dedicated category but not on the front page?
A: YES. Use a static home page.
