Static Page that displays posts by tag/category?
-
So I’m having trouble figuring out what terms to Google this question with–everything I’m turning up doesn’t answer this question, exactly.
What I want is to have a static page (i.e. one that shows up in the list of pages, not in the sidebar) that goes to all posts that share a specific tag. So basically, a static page that goes to the blogname.wordpress.com/tag/tagname page you get if you click on a tag from the post itself or the sidebar.
Is there any way to do this? I know you can get there by clicking the link in the sidebar, but I’d love to get a couple of them up there on the pages list. Please let me know if I’ve botched explaining it.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Let me address Tags after I address Categories.
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 custom links in your custom menu as well. You choose the order in which to display the foregoing in your custom menu. You choose which to display and which to hide. How to create a custom menu. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus
Also note that if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page for your site, and also create a “blog” page for your posts to display on, but that’s optional.

Now let’s continue with Tags. Here are the how-to instructions for adding tag pages to your custom menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-tag-pages-and-posts-to-your-menu

Right, thanks. I’d gotten confused because the last theme I was using had the pages listed in a header instead of in the sidebar. I’ve changed it since, so everything’s quite happy coexisting in the sidebar. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!
