  Hi there. First off, “blog” refers to your entire website at http://aaliah97.wordpress.com/, so I think you mean “post”. Posts and pages are completely different. Posts are meant to be updated regularly. They are published by default on your blog’s home page and appear in your blog’s RSS feed.

  Pages are static, meaning they’re not updated regularly. They are listed in your blog’s menu and don’t appear in the blog’s RSS feed.

  If you want a single blog post to show up under a menu link you add it there by setting up a custom menu. You can also have all posts from a specific category appear under a menu link by adding a category page with a custom menu.

  Lastly, if you want the page to contain both static content and one or more posts, you can have the posts display on a regular page by using the Display Posts shortcode. Instructions for that here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/display-posts-shortcode/
