Publishing a post under categories
-
I would like to post certain articles on my blog, but can’t figure out what I want. When I post an article about politics, I want it to ONLY show up under the “Politics” category, and not the home page. Same thing with a sports article; it should show up under “Sports” but not on the home page. Is this possible with WordPress? Thanks for any help I can get.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Part 1
The answer to your question is yes and no. The answer is no unless you create a static front page and another page for your posts to be displayed on. The answer is yes if you do that.If you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page ie. landing page for your site, and also create a “blog” page for your posts to display on.

You cannot post to pages. Pages are static and sit outside the blog structure. With WordPress, you use categories to organize posts into subjects and then you can add those categories to your navigation using a custom menu.Staff have provided help for those who want to structure their blog like a website. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/
What’s critical is:
(1) a clear comprehension of the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
(2) a clear comprehension of the fact that there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. But we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.We organize our posts by assigning Categories to them. When we publish a post it automatically appears on the running page for posts and also on the Categories pages and Archives pages. Note: There must be one published post in each Category in order for there to be anything to display.
A custom menu allows you to display Categories with drop-downs to sub-categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation where normally only Pages tabs are displayed. If you wish you can also include Pages with drop-downs to sub-pages and/or custom links in your custom menu as well. You are in charge of what appears in a custom menu. You choose the order in which to display any and/or all the foregoing in your custom menu. You choose which to display and which to hide. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus
