  I found the below on a support page:

  “How do I post to a Page?

  All posts will appear on the main posts page, but you can also display specific posts on category pages with our custom menus feature. If you want, you can change the default page for posts to appear by changing Settings → Reading in the Dashboard. This will likely require changing your Front page as well.”

  I don’t want my pages to be static. I want to be able to post to them regularly. The above quote sounds exactly like what I want to do. But I went to Settings → Reading in the Dashboard and did a test post by uploading a photo and selecting my “beauty” category but the photo went on my home/main post page, not my Beauty page. Please help me understand what I’m doing wrong. Thanks!

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

  @timetheif wrote a very through answer to a similar question in 2012. I’ve copied the most relevent bit of her advice below:

  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 the dynamic categories pages

  Here’s a link to a custom menu walkthrough > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/08/11/wordpress-com-custom-menu-walk-through/

  There are many common errors, misunderstanding and misconceptions when creating custom menus and you can read about them here > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/custom-menus/”
