some posts are published but don't know where they are archived?
-
Basically I have tried to create a Menu (top right) to archive things just named Menu1 in my dashboard as default by wordpress, other than the social media menu. And i remember being able to put post into these menu categories manually, but i haven’t touched this blog in a week and it already looks different: i can’t do that anymore. My Soul: Books and Movies is now a page instead of hubbing posts? and when i click in i can only see navigation label or remove which is not what i want?
I can easily categorize my posts, but that does not look as clean as the menu, and it has separate intentions as well if you can see.
am i missing something?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

All Posts are found here > Dashboard > Posts > All Posts

https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/archives-widget/
https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
https://en.support.wordpress.com/archives-shortcode/This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
(1) All posts on the front page.
(2) A static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page.By default the front page of a blog displays all published posts in reverse chronological order with the most recently published post on top. When we publish a post on WordPress software the software automatically creates the same entry in the Archives, and on the dynamic (automatically updating) Categories and Tags pages in accord with the Categories and Tags we assign to that post.
So when we create custom menu and add the dynamic (automatically updating) category pages to that custom menu we create the appearance (not the reality) of posting to more than one page.
You need to be aware that:
1. There are differences between posts and pages described here
https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/2. There are differences between static pages we bloggers create https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ that will not automatically update, and dynamic category pages created by the software when you publish a post which will automatically update https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/.
3. We organize posts by category assignment prior to publication. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/ and when we publish posts the dynamic category pages they automatically display on are determined by the categories we assign to them.
So the process you need to use is:
a. Assign Categories to your Posts. https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories
b. Create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#1-create-a-custom-menu
c. Add only the dynamic category page links into the custom menu that you want to appear in that menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-category-pages and arrange them as you wish them to appear https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus
d. Create pages for static content, not for posts https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
e. Add any custom links and other items like static pages into your custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-custom-links and https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-pages
