  how can i achieve this?
  i have not designated which page the posts go to (have left the drop down at ‘Select’). And i have created categories that match the pages i want the posts to go to & added that category to a test post.
  thanks in advance!

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

  I hope you didn’t create static pages. If you did, delete them. This is the only way to do what you want. http://support.wordpress.com/

  You have created static pages, which unlike dynamic category pages, will never auto-update when you publish new posts. 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. They are for content that rarely changes.

  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)
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus

  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:
