  Hello,

  I want only one post on my home page blog. I want all other posts to go under categories, meaning that to get to them you have to click on one of my categories. How in the world do I set this? thanks

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

  Set up a static home page:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  1. Click Pages->Add New in your Dashboard.
  2. Title this page “Home” (you can, of course, name it whatever you like).
  3. Type the content you want displayed on the front page of your blog and publish it.
  4. Write another new page.
  5. Title this page “Posts.” (Or “blog” if you want sitename.com/blog)
  6. You don’t need to type content, because it won’t be displayed. Publish the page.
  7. Click Settings ->Reading on the left menu in your Dashboard.
  8. You will see the following options. Set yours to look like this:

  frong-page-settings

  After making these changes, posts will no longer show on the front page of your blog. The static page “Home” will show there. Visitors will need to click on the link to “Posts” in your pages list to see your posts.

  Then make a custom menu with your categories a navigation tabs:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/
  Note: don’t include your “blog” page in the custom menu.
