  Hi, how do I add all or just selected posts to appear on another page as well as the Home page? For example, I am adding a page titled Previous Posts, and also a few other pages for specific topics – i.e. #1 Maternity Fashion.

  Secondly, how does the home page of posts just continue going on for infinity with all history of posts or will it archive older posts at a certain point?

  Many thanks
  Sarah

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

  Among the most common misconceptions is that bloggers fail to understand is
  (1) there is only one page we can post to in any blog and
  (2) the static pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ they create do not automatically update.

  Only the dynamic pages like Categories, Tags and Archives created by the software when we publish a post we that we have assigned Categories and Tags too will update automatically update with new posts.

  By default the front page of the blog is the post that displays all posts in your blog. Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ 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 into the custom menu.

  Every time you publish a post the software will automatically post it to the dynamic Archives pages and Tags and Categories pages.

  You set the number of posts to be displayed on the front page of the blog at > Settings > Reading
  Blog pages show at most __ posts

  Alternatively you can enable “infinite scroll” further down the page at
  To infinity and beyond __Scroll Infinitely
  (Shows 7 posts on each load)
