  How do you link pages to categories, so that when you post with those categories, it goes to those pages?

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

  You can’t assign pages to categories. Categories and tags only can be associated with posts. I do wish that pages could be associated with categories, as well, but they don’t work that way, unfortunately.

  Please see here for the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  There is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. We organize our posts by assigning Categories to them. When we publish a post it automatically appears on the running page for posts and also on the Categories pages and Archives pages.

  A custom menu allows you to display Categories with drop-downs to sub-categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation where normally only Pages tabs are displayed. If you wish you can also include Pages drop-downs to sub-pages, and custom links in your custom menu as well. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/
