  I have written few posts on a new page in my blog. Is it possible to shift those posts to my main blog page with the same publish date and also with the comments?

  Kindly suggest..

  thanks

  No I’m sorry pages and posts are completely different. Pages sit outside the blog structure so there is not way to move them automatically.

  We can only copy and paste the page content and the comments received into a new post and the comment boxes there. Then we can edit the comments we moved to insert the correct usernames and email addresses to them. Then we can delete the original page.

  Scroll down to “Moving Comments” in this post for instructions for what you want to do. > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/12/20/wordpress-com-comments-and-discussion-settings/

  Thanks for the reply. I’m aware that page and post are different. Actually by mistake I have created a page and have written my couple of posts in it. So I wanted to know if there is any way that I can insert those post in my main blogs page not as a new post but as the original post with the original published date?

  Like I have few posts in my ‘Germany’ page in my blog and I wanted to shift them to the main blog page showing the original publish date.

  Thanks

  We organize our posts by use of categories. There is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. You can do as I stated above regarding copying and pasting content from the static page into a new post. Then prior to publishing the “new” post you create you change the datestamp to reflect the earlier date. If you take a look here at the illustration you will see where you can change the datestamp in the publish box. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/schedule-a-post/
