  At this point, I have published almost 60 posts and it is getting a bit long. There is currently no way for people to choose which post to read except to simply scroll. What is the best way to go about organizing posts?

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

  So sorry for your loss.
  You can organize your posts with categories and tags. Here is some information about how to add them to your posts:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories-vs-tags/
  more details about categories and tags:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/tags/

  Then you can make a custom menu for readers to link to categories or tags they want to read about.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

  Or you could add a page, possibly using a custom menu with archives shortcode so that your post titles will be listed and clickable by your readers:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/archives-shortcode/

  Or you could show just a short part of each post on your home page. That way readers could see just a bit of each entry, scroll down, then choose posts they would like to read more about:

  I hope this helps.
