Posting to another page other than home
-
I’m new and I couldn’t find this on FAQ so here’s my question:
If I want my home page to be just that, and then my blog posts to go to a separate page that I created, how do I do that?

You can’t have two dynamic automatically updating pages. In a blog only one page will automatically update with each new post you make.
You can assign any page you create to become your “static” front page and here are the instructions http://faq.wordpress.com/2007/02/20/having-a-static-page-at-the-front-of-the-blog/
Although it’s very “trendy” right now to have a static front page that some people are calling a “landing page” doing this has a downside.
(1) Your readers come to read your blog posts and repeat readers do not appreciate clicking through an introduction over and over again.
(2) I have noted that serious bloggers who have high page rankings do not have “static” front pages. They choose to have the stuff that people want to read right up front when readers click into their site. And they ensure their navigation is set up so it’s reader friendly. They are serious about their stats so everything that counts towards page rank is found on their front page.
(3) Your page rank assigned by Google is primarily calculated by what’s on your front page. If you have zero posts, zero comments and zero links on your front page then there’s nothing there that adds up to a page rank.
