Hi Everyone..... I am very new to WordPress (Only had it up and running today) but I have run into a problem. I would like to have posts show on my HOME page, but I would also like to have the ability to have other pages that will show posts as well. I making a web site for our local weaving and spinning guild and we would like a page of classified ads, gallery, events, and the main page. I have the posts showing on the main page but am unable to put a post on the events page. Would I need a seperate blog for each page that need posting ability???
THanks for any help.

I know this is an old post but it has no resolution. I am hoping someone has an answer on how to make each page blogable. Are there any plugins that can make this happen? Maybe a simple drop down or radio button while writing a new post that lets you choose which page to post to? Any help would be appreciated.

There are basically two kinds of "webpages" in WordPress, the Posts (blog) and the Pages. Codex Reference here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_Posts
http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages
General overview - http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Quick_Start_Guide#Create_a_Page
And you would find those "dropdowns" in WordPress dashboard when you log in.

Right, but what the other two are saying is if we make a page called "Events" and we want to post an event on the events page there is no option to make posts on it. What is the best way to fix this?

You could emulate the behavior of multiple posts pages using appropriately named categories. For example, make a category named "Events", and make sure that all posts for the Events page are in the Events category.
