  When I publish my post, it will post to my homepage. But I also want it to post to another category in the menu. For example, under my “Fun in the Kitchen” category, I want my post to post under that page as well as be a drop down, Holiday Recipes. Does this make sense? Any guidance?

  Thank you!!!! I have been trying to look for answers and advice for a few hours and am feeling defeated…

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

  Every time you publish a post it will automatically appear on the dynamic Archives page and the dynamic Categories and sub-categories pages, assuming you have assigned categories and sub-categories to it.

  Technically you can’t post to more than one page on any blog but do read on. Static Pages and dynamic Category Pages are not the same. The former cannot automatically update but the latter do.

  If you want to have pages that do update then they must be replaced by dynamic category pages that will automatically update every time you publish a post assigned to the relevant category.

  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.
