post separately instead of all at one time.
-
All the postings appear one after the other, rather than page by page, maybe as postings at different times – different days. How do I get these articles, which are all ‘chapters’ of my coming book, so all have the same title, each with a different chapter title, to appear one at a time – separate from each other?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Blogs are essentially a reverse chronological order publishing tool wherein the most recent published post will display on top. You cannot change this order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. It’s designed to serve your visitors as they come to read the most recent posts and will not be inclined to trawl through hundreds of posts to locate it.
See here for the option of creating a book-like structure > http://en.support.wordpress.com/write-a-book/ Perhaps that will work for you.
Or you could use a single sticky post as an index page > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts
Or you can falsify every date-stamp before publishing.

P.S. Are you aware that if you publish bits and pieces of your book in your blog that no commercial publishers will publish it?

I don’t understand what you say – your explanations, such as the one here that says “please keep comments on the topics at hand and not on other members of the community”, for instance.
I’d just like to post my article – which needs to be redone on your site – can’t just copy and paste it – the format becomes off-putting – I’d just like to post my article – one article per posting, not all at one click. In fact, if I could post them such that only the title of the whole ‘book’ would show, then the titles of the chapters would be listed as ‘hot links’, that’d be great. How much would you charge me to have that construction? -
What I see on your blog is posts and you yourself have provided the titles of the posts such as: Child labor question: age segregation
Every post title has the date of publication embedded into it automatically. The posts appear on the blog in order of date of publication with the most recently published post on top.If you want any post title to be changed to something else like
Title of Book: Chapter One
then you will have to edit the posts to change the titles. For editing see: http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/ -
Also, it is NOT correct that publishers don’t buy blogs to turn into books. It’s a main arm of the publishing world now, scoping out blogs to publish.

When is it OK to Blog Your Book? For one thing, agents say you’re ruining your chances with traditional publishers by giving away your first rights. Yes, but remember that blogging is publishing, which is why agents won’t represent something that’s been partially blogged: once it’s on the Interwebz, you’re officially published.What Is Considered Previously Published Writing? It is common practice for journals and literary agents to reject previously published writing, but what exactly does previously published mean? Why are most literary agents and editors unwilling to take a chance on work that has already appeared elsewhere? When is it appropriate to submit previously published work?

I’d love it if people, especially book or magazine publishers see what I write and want it – in any form.
I’ve seen that we’re told of a multitude of books published from collections of writings in magazines, newspapers, blogs.
Now I’d like to be able
1. To find out what ‘Untitled’ means on my page.
2. To find out how to create a list of hot links to these ‘chapters’ of what will eventually be my attempt to get them published as a book. The big thing holding me up now is trying to learn to work the website in a way that functions, as far as I’m concerned.
or 3., to be able to use the several very thoughtful, much appreciated suggestions from you without spending all my time working on how to work the blog method.
4. or, to post as blog, connected to the original title – School Is The Opposite Of Education – each writing, under each title, separate – not in an ever lengthening line of writings one after the other on one page.
If the only way I can get that effect is by paying wordpress …well
I’ve published pages before – called websites, I guess, separate from each other –
I guess I’ll just try that again – although that’s become difficult for me to figure out, so far. It’ll be a relief for me when I finally do…
