pages with no tabs
-
I hope this is possible, but im not optimistic. I only want to have 4 posts to my blog home page, that comes with the consequence of only 4 entries on a page when you click a catagory, which means it takes 8 or 9 clicks to get to get to older posts (no one will do this!!).
I want to keep 4 posts per page on the main blog page, but have all posts in a particular catagory listed when a catagory is clicked. I suspect Id have to create a page where all posts have their links displayed by manually linking them with text, almost like a sitemap, but id also like to list just the catagory on the new page and a blurb describing my view on the catagory. I apologize if I am being unclear, im just not sure how to describe it. The closest I can come is for you to see this page :http://www.str.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=5332
Basically, can I create pages which do not appear as tabs on the top of my blog? I dont want 12 tabs atop my blog. I’d like all the sub-pages to be contained under one tab. Is this possible?

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/

You can create Categoiries and subcategories and the latter will display in a dropdown menu. You can create Pages and subpages (child pages) and the latter will display in a dropdown menu. You can choose which of those you wish to display in a custom menu.
Staff have provided this support documentation entry for those who want to structure their blog like a website. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/ We organize our posts by use of categories. There is only one dynamic page in a blog and we cannot post to more that one page. However, we can create the appearance that we have done that by setting up a custom menu and displaying Categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation menu.

You cannot set the number of posts differently for different post-type pages (categories, archieve, tags and main blog page).
You will have to do it manually if that is what you want and then update it each time you make a post move one from each page back and then add the new post.
Another option is to use the archive shortcode. It will not show excerpts, only titles of the posts, but you can have a list of all the posts on the blog on one single page if you wish.
And as far as people not clicking back through to read older posts, if they won’t do that, there isn’t really that much likelihood they will read them anyway. I’ve gone back through 100 + pages of posts on blogs a little at a time over months to see what someone has written about. I might not read each one, but I read many of them.

look down toward the bottom for the different attributes you can add to control the lists.
