Hey there,
I have a small question which I'm sure a lot of you have encountered.
Let's say I make a post, but I don't want to post it in 'HOME'.. lets say I want to post it in the 'ABOUT' section, how can I do that? Is that a certain plugin that I should add?
Its just I want to have posts running in my 'HOME' section and also in my 'ABOUT' section. but everything I write and 'submit' always appears in HOME page of my site
Thanks :)

No? No one had the problem before?

So do you actually want them seperated completely? So if somebody arrives at your homepage, they won't see any "ABOUT" posts anywhere at all, unless they actually click on "ABOUT" in your theme's navigation?

Yeah, pretty much.
Like you know in your WP-ADMIN when you click on "POST" and write something, it adds it to the HOME?
Well I want one where I can write a post and it'll appear in 'ABOUT' section with the time it was posted and everything, and the ability to comment, etc
I was looking for the same thing for my blog, but never found it. But I have made a solution..
1) My home page is static
2) I added a list of categories in my header, as horizontal menu. So it looks like pages.
Please have a look here:

That's all done with custom page templates and category parameters, using the <?php query_posts('category_name=events'); ?> tag.
I made a post about it last week on my blog:

Sorry, the tag is called just the "query_posts" tag,
not <?php query_posts('category_name=events'); ?>

Okay,
You need to do a few things, when you create a post you can decide whether to display it on the home page or not...you can do this by assigning the post to categories such as "do not post on front page" or in your case an "about" category...you can exclude the category from the home page by modifying the code in the loop (index.php) or use a plugin like advanced category excluder.
next, you create an about page so now you have an "about" page and posts with the "about" category. Read the documentation
http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages
and modify your page.php code to display the posts only on the specific topic page.
hope this helps.
