Plugin to keep posts under certain categories off the homepage
-
I would like to add a “fan” tab/category onto my site so fans of my work can post their videos onto my website to share with other fans, but I would like the fan submitted work to be confined to a tap in the menu and not show up on the homepage. There is absolutely no way to do this on wordpress.com as of now, I have been told.
Here are a few plugins to add that would do the trick:https://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-category-excluder/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/simply-exclude/The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Blogs are not designed for the purpose of having any visitors posting anything at all on them. That is what wikis are for, so be clear on that please.
You can have either a public or a private blog here at WordPress.COM and there is no limitation on the total number of contributors to any blog. However, the limit is issuing 10 invitations at any point in time. It’s a spammer prevention limit. So we simply wait and then send out 10 more invitations.
If you’d like to invite others to publish posts or help approve comments on your blog, you can invite them to be a Contributor, Editor, or Author. If you want users to receive updates each time you publish new content you can invite them to be a follower/viewer.
See here:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/ and here http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/The person will have to register a username account but does not need to register a blog. They will need to click the “Accept Invitation” button in the invitation email. If they are logged into their WordPress.com account, they will be taken directly to your blog. If not, they will be taken to the log-in screen, where they can either log in or create a new user account.
Note that users who create a new WordPress.com account at that point will still need to return to the invitation email and click the “Accept Invitation” button after doing so.
There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs for security reasons, and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/Then read these please:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/#html-tagsIf you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, conduct ecommerce and edit the database.
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

So create a static page https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
Then place a contact form on it https://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/
Then learn how to create and use a custom menu.We organize posts by assigning categories to them, and dynamic category pages automatically created by the software when we publish posts are not the same as static Pages that we bloggers create.
Please read this first Post vs. Page http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
(1) There is only one page we can post to in any blog.
(2) The static pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ we bloggers create do not automatically update.Only the dynamic pages like Archives, Categories and Tags created by the software when we publish a post will update automatically update with new posts.
By default the front page of the blog is the Page that displays all posts in your blog. You can create a static front page and have your published posts display on another page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ but doing that does not change what follows.
Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.
We assign categories to posts. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/
Until we publish a post with a category assigned to it the relevant dynamic categories page will not have any data that it can display.This guide will walk you through how to create category pages for your blog, to display groupings of similar posts on pages other than your front page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/
Create a custom menu

Add dynamic categories and sub-categories pages to it

Create order and sub-menus (dropdowns)
http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menusThere are many common errors, misunderstandings and misconceptions when creating custom menus and there are some tweaks you can use to improve your custom menu as well. Here is more information:
