iv always had this question but i still dont really know if you can do that… i know on other blogging websites (that i will not mention since its inappropriate) that you can create Tagged pages (redirect) and whenever you make a post and add a certain tag to that post that it will appear on the page with the tag as it name. e.g
on that site if you make a page with the name “sports” then when ever you make a new post and it has the tag “sports” then the post will appear both on your homepage and in that page called “Sports”.
i have no idea if wordpress has this function, so how i do it is just write all the stuff on the page i want and edit it each time i have to update…
To omit these posts from the main posts page, you would need to amend the standard query in the theme’s index.php template file. See:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query
In the last link, checkout out the Taxonomy Parameters.
To list these posts, you’d need a “reverse” custom query within a custom page template.
Wow, thanks esmi! That is extremely thorough. Because I’m a little new to this world it might take me a couple days to understand all this though. I don’t suppose there’s a version of layman’s speak to explain to the uninitiated like me basically what I have to do?
my blog, by the way:

The two links I posted above do include copy’n’paste examples that should only need a little tweaking to work. There’s also an example a page of posts based on the Twenty Eleven theme that you could have a look at.
Great, thanks for the help!
