  We need a link to the blog you’re talking about, starting with http. The answer depends on the blog.

  You want to use Categories for that. Then use a Custom Menu in your header so that you can list the category page. Like on my blog, I could put http://raincoaster.com/category/wikileaks in the header and all the posts on that tab would be my Wikileaks posts.

  Also, see this: http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  I am having the same problem. I understand, from reading it, that you can only add about ten updates to the categories, yes? I want to be able to update it everyday…unlimited amounts. http://vicky1clicker1tr.wordpress.com/clicker-training-road-trip/

  I found out that you had to click on ‘new post’ I did that, and it did go to the top of the page…but it went to the WRONG page. How can I make it go to the page I want?

  Thank you

  So I need to make a category for each page that I have there in my menu on my blog and if I put a post in that category it will go to that page? Im going to go play …..

  Yes, thank you, I did read it. I read, ‘Posts’ and went to the ‘Road Trip’ page, clicked on ‘New post’, to put it there, but it jumped over to the ‘about me’ page. Any idea why? Can I change this effect?

  Thank you

  Just write Posts. Put them in appropriate Categories. Then put a link to that category page in your header using a Custom Menu.

  You cannot post to pages.
  pages and posts are very different animals. If you tame categories, they will not bite.

  So there is no way of putting the categories that Ive made into my menu in a certain order correct?
  If I have a page with static info on it, is there a way that I can then add a button/link that would move the reader to a category with a list of posts that are advised reads after reading the page??
  Im clear as mud huh ;)

  Much more clear than mud I say!

  If you make a custom menu then you can put category pages into your navigation. And also you can add your static pages to the menu navigation.

  Also there is a menu widget if you don’t want everything in top navigation.
  Support documentation about making custom menus:

  and
  further information about how custom menus work:

  Does that answer my second questions about somehow linking a category to a page??

  Yes. Drop the idea of Pages altogether and just follow the instructions for categories and custom menus and you’ll see it will all work out.
