  Hi,

  I was wondering if anyone knows how to link your posts on your home page to others pages of your blog. I can’t seem to find how…

  Thank you so much!

  E.R

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

  Posts and Pages are completely different and until you explain more clearly what you want to do I will share these links:

  I was wondering if there is anyway for the “posts” to appear directly on the page I chose to put it on (while writing the post).

  Thank you for the links. I looked it up but I don’t think it is a possible thing to do as, indeed, posts and pages are completely different things.

  Thank you for your response.

  There is only one dynamic page for posts that autmatically updates in a blog and all posts will display on that page. There is no way to exclude posts from the main posts (blog) page. By default the front page of the blog will display your posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. If you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts 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 organize posts by assigning categories to them. You can create a custom menu and add the dynamic categories pages created by the software into the custom menu. Note that until there is one published post in any category there is nothing that can be displayed on thedynamic categories pages
