  Yes more than one.

  I want three pages that I want constant posts on, not sure how to link posts to pages?

  So i have three options in my menu, I need all of them to be active feeds, they will be like three mini blogs in one website. I can’t seem to do this because I have NO knowledge at all! I know the reading setting but that is purely for one page and I need three of them to be post pages.

  Thanks in advance, really need the help asap!

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

  Pages are for static content and do not have RSS Feeds. We organize posts by assigning categories to them, and dynamic category pages automatically created by the software when we publish post are not the same as static Pages that we bloggers create.

  Please read this first Post vs. Page http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  (1) There is only one page we can post to in any blog.
  (2) The static pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ we bloggers create do not automatically update.
  (3) Only the dynamic pages like Archives, Categories and Tags created by the software when we publish a post will update automatically update with new posts.

  By default the front page of the blog is the Page that displays all posts in your blog. You can create a static front page and have your published posts display on another page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ but doing that does not change what follows.

  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 assign categories to posts. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/
  Until we publish a post with a category assigned to it the relevant dynamic categories page will not have any data that it can display.

  This guide will walk you through how to create category pages for your blog, to display groupings of similar posts on pages other than your front page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/

  Create a custom menu
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#creating-a-custom-menu
  Add dynamic categories and sub-categories pages to it
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-category-pages
  Create order and sub-menus (dropdowns)

  There are many common errors, misunderstandings and misconceptions when creating custom menus and there are some tweaks you can use to improve your custom menu as well. Here is more information:

  DANG! I did not check out your site first.

  http://www.theglutenfreehub.com/ is NOT hosted by WordPress.COM and we do not provide support for it. Our support docs do not apply to it. You are posting to the wrong support forum. We cannot help you here.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

  Is there a way to show the featured image in the post when it shows up in the categories list? Mine is only showing up as text. https://welostbob.wordpress.com/category/new-posts/

  Yes. but that’s off-topic in this thread.
  Create a static Page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
  On that Page use the display posts shortcode
