Question of Tags (?)
-
My blog reviews movies, and I usually get 3-4 different posts on each movie. Is there a way that I can post a list of the movies that I’ve reviewed? I always make a tag for the movie title, but I make tags for the major stars, the directors, and things like that as well, which I’d rather not appear in the list of titles. So it’s not quite a simple as just displaying the tags.
My blog is An Historian Goes to the Movies.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
Have you tried using categories?
http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/#adding-categories-via-the-dashboardYou can make a category, like “movies”, for example, then categorize your posts under it.
Then, you can either create a page where you link to your category or you can display your post using shortcode:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/display-posts-shortcode/[display-posts category="movies"]Hope that helps!

I do have a movie category, but clicking on that brings up all the posts, so the reader will have to scroll through them all.
I think I’m looking for something a bit more like an index, where the reader can see at a glance all the movies I’ve reviewed, so they can decide which posts to read.
I suppose I could add a page that just lists all the movies and links to the individual posts, but that seems sort of clumsy.

The display posts shortcode @honeysilvas linked to for you does exactly this. You can set it to display just the titles or a title and an excerpt. -
Hi,
As kokkieh mentioned, now that you have a Movie category, all you need to do is create a page, then add this code to it:
[display-posts category="movies"]This will list all your posts automatically for you.
