Post Appearance: HELP!
-
Up until today all my posts end up separate: each post gets listed with its title, in a self-contained “page” (not “Page” as in different from “post” but as the word is usually used.) Suddenly, today, my post ended up the top post on a big scrolling blog of all my posts. The thing I have liked best about WordPress is the separate posts. Is there seomthing I did in my Presentations that changed this (I was fooling around there). Please help! If you like you can email me: (email visible only to moderators and staff)

Oops…I figured this out myself: I had indeed changed it with the “Options” selection. But here’s another question: If I choose “A Static Page” as my opening, I seem to have to make it “About” in order for it not to open on posts. That’s what I am now doing. If I want it to open on just ONE post, the latest, do I choose “Latest posts” or will that open onto a long scroll? Am I making sense???

In a blog there is only one running posts page that automatically updates with all your blog posts.
If you create a new page and call it anything you like eg. “Welcome” then you can designate it as a static front page. If you wish you can create another running posts page too eg. “Current Posts”.
Pages are for “static” content and do not automatically update. You cannot assign categories to them.
From a Google juice viewpoint designating a static front page AKA landing page is not the way to go. Your blog’s page rank is determined in accord with what is on your front page in terms of posts, comments and links.
