Posting to a Specific Page- How??
-
So I just set up this blog and I want to have a few pages.
I want to create a post now that will go under the Team Members page. But I can’t find a way to move posts to certain pages, or when I click add post, I don’t see an option to put the new post under a certain page.
How do I put a post under a specific page??
Thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You cannot post to pages. Pages are static and sit outside the blog structure. With WordPress, you use categories to organize posts into subjects and then you can add those categories to your navigation using a custom menu.
Staff have provided help for those who want to structure their blog like a website. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/
What’s critical is:
(1) a clear comprehension of the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
(2) a clear comprehension of the fact that there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. But we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.We organize our posts by assigning Categories to them. When we publish a post it automatically appears on the running page for posts and also on the Categories pages and Archives pages. Note: There must be one published post in each Category in order for there to be anything to display.
A custom menu allows you to display Categories with drop-downs to sub-categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation where normally only Pages tabs are displayed. If you wish you can also include Pages with drop-downs to sub-pages and/or custom links in your custom menu as well. You are in charge of what appears in a custom menu. You choose the order in which to display any and/or all the foregoing in your custom menu. You choose which to display and which to hide. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus
Also note that if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page or landing page for your site, and also create a “blog” page for your posts to display on, but that’s optional.

Ok thanks. So I don’t really see a need for pages then.
Not sure why we need pages if they will sit basically blank.
I will go delete that page then and just organize the posts by categories.
Thanks!

I visited your blog and thought you might say what you did. I’m glad we resolved this. You’re welcome and best wishes with your blog. :)

LOL Not sure what that means, “thought you might say what you did”
But yes, it seems a bit pointless to have them at all if that is the setup.
I just saw how they let us set up the about page, so it seemed logical to set up other pages with information. *SIGH*
Oh well.
Thank you for taking the time to help me. -

I still don’t really understand what timethief is saying. Could you please repeat yourself again? Thanks! :)
