  Hi everyone :)

  I am a WP newbie and am a little confused by pages/categories/posts and was wondering if someone could explain these to me in relation to what I am trying to do on my blog.

  I have a custom menu up the top and would like these to be each of the topics I have on my blog – craft, health, travel etc.

  When someone clicks on these links I would like them to go to another page which has different areas of these categories. For example, if you click on Travel it will take you to a page that a list of destinations. Then when you click on say, New Zealand, it will take you to another page that has all the posts about NZ.

  What would be pages and what would be categories?

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

  That is a WordPress.ORG blog, not a WordPress.COM blog. You need to be over at their forums for support with that version of the software. We cannot help you.

  Hi there!

  I’m afraid that raincoaster is right. Our ability to assist you is very limited given that your site is not hosted in WordPress.com’s servers. You may have better luck finding help by posting in the WordPress.org support forums:

  Here’s a support document that you might find relevant to your problem:

  Thanks and best of luck!
