parent page with child with child?
-
I have a second page on my blog where I’d like to have the following structure:
parent
— child
— childIs this possible? I’ve searched the forums and cannot find any answers. I have the first level set up parent with child. I would like to add a child page to my child.
This is what I’m doing to help clarify if needed:
Spoken Word page
on it I will have a section for poetry, random recordings, mini-plays, etc. Under each of those I’ll have the actual posts.Thanks for any responses!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Please paste the exact URL of your blog when asking questions here, or link your nickname to your blog (as explained in the Sticky 8 Things to Know Before Posting). We can’t help without that.

Pages are good for static information that is unlikely to change, such as an “about” page. That’s fine, but whatever you may add there in the future won’t be reflected in your blog’s RSS feed.
Depending on whether you are hosted here on WordPress.COM or are self-hosted, we can suggest a couple of alternatives to using static pages. So, please, as Pan requested, give us the URL of your blog.

sorry – was in a rush and only skimmed the “8 things”.
It’s the suddenly spoken page that I want to have different from my general blog…
thanks!

You can very well select a child page as a parent to another page – there’s no limit to that kind of nesting.
But, as Jennifer explained, pages are designed for side information, e.g. a bio or an intro to the blog. A page sits outside the chronological order of posts, but apart from that it’s like a post – one post: you cannot add posts to pages. So you’d better write posts instead of pages, and file them under appropriate categories and subcategories.

One of the key things that people forget is that Posts, when categorized or tagged, are dynamic. (Gotta love databases!)
If you include the Category or Tag widget in your blog’s sidebar, when people click on a Category or Tag, a page (small p) is created on-the-fly that contains only the Posts marked with that Category or Tag.
If your blog’s Theme has a navbar with tabs at the top, you can also create a Page with a dynamic link in the header using the instructions Pan has written here. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/03/26/page-tabs-as-external-links/ That suggestion comes with a caveat because Pan writes regarding linking to external pages, but I don’t wonder if it can’t be used the same way for categories/tags.

Yes, links to pages within a blog work just as well as links to external sites.
But Misty Look is one of the themes where the tab looks odd.
