  Hi there,
  I have 4 pages now and only 1 page is updatable (or postable) via email.
  Is there any way to make all pages updatable via email?

  Thank you!

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

  No and this has zero to do with posting by email. It’s how blogs are structured. You cannot post to Pges. Pages are static and sit outside the blog structure. With wordpress, you use Categories to organize posts into subjects and then you can add those Categories to your navigation using a custom menu.

  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/or custom links in your custom menu as well. You are in charge of what appears in a custom menu. You choose the order in which to display any and/or all the foregoing in your custom menu. You choose which to display and which to hide. 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 ie. landing page for your site, and also create a “blog” page for your posts to display on, but that’s optional.

  Hi again and thank you very much!
  I’m now getting a bit better and just added categories to the page as 2nd navigation.

  I will read through your comment closely.

  Ciao,
