  I’m trying to unify the content on my blog. I understand there is a difference between pages and posts, but is there some easier way to move my page contents to posts (so that I can add these to categories) than copying each page and pasting it to a new post?

  Thanks in advance.

  Sincerely,

  Kasmersensei

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

  Is this the blog you are asking about:
  http://gaijinalways.wordpress.com/

  It appears that you don’t really understand the differences between post and pages:
  what: 19 or 20 pages and only 10 posts since Sept. 2008, all categorized as “uncategorized.”

  Copying the pages then putting them into posts will have to be done one at a time. There is no automatic way to do this.

  Here is some reading to aid your understanding of the huge difference between posts and pages:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
  Plus some more information about using categories to organize your blog:

  No, I have transfered that information to another blog which I included when I logged in my question.

  http://born2teach.wordpress.com/

  And yes, I have read those related sections already about the differences between posts and pages. Unfortunately, I only read them recently, been using several blogs for a year or so for classes I teach and didn’t know what the difference was (shame on me :)).

  I will follow your advice and change over the conents of each page to single posts one at a time.

  Many thanks,

  Kasmersensei

  @gaijinalways,

  Oh, that is a sort of screening system: we get many questions from people using WordPress.ORG blogs and because our wp.COM software is different, we usually can’t answer them. We are volunteers here and have no access to back-end things, so if you don’t include a link we don’t know which blog you are asking about.

  Anyway, you are welcome!

  Sorry about that, but appreciate your help. I finished ‘fixing’ it. Still have a lot to learn, just like my students.

  Thanx again,
