  Probably a very simple question but one that I cannot figure out; how do you add multiple blogs posts to a page?

  I seem only capable of submitting a post to a new category, there appears to be some limit in the amount of text that I can add to a single page in that I only seem able to edit what I have already written. I wish to have multiple posts on the same page, how do I do that?

  Thanks

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

  Posts and Pages are completely different.

  how do you add multiple blogs posts to a page?

  In a blog we have only one page (usually the front page but this can be changed) that we can post to which will automatically display all posts we make in reverse chronological order with the most recent post on top. After publication the post will also automatically appear in the Archives pages and in the Categories pages you assigned to the post.

  Static Pages sit outside the blog structure. Static pages cannot have Categories and Tags assigned to them. Pages do not appear in our RSS feeds. Pages can only be updated by editing.

  The answer to your question is we cannot add multiple blogs to any page other than a single page. However, if we choose to have a “page structured blog” resembling a website then we can create the illusion of posting to static pages. The way we do that is by choosing a theme that has the custom menu feature so we are able to mix pages, categories, and random links in your navigation instead of your theme deciding for us.

  In the majority of themes, posts in category or monthly archive pages show up just as they do in the main posts page. But in some themes only the beginnings of posts are shown, and in a few themes you only get titles or thumbnails. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/03/25/full-posts-in-archive-pages/

  I read over the wordpress links. So what you’re saying is that if I want to add content under a “Page,” I need to delete it and make it a category and then I can add my sub categories and various posts under each new header? Because as was the case with fewthyvoice, I have not been able to add content under my second created page.

  That is correct. Static pages do not contain Posts. If you categorize or tag your posts correctly, then the category page will always dynamically update with the latest posts.
