I jsut got my blog up and working - this is my first attempt at using WP, so this is probably a dumb question to most of you.
is it possible to configure WP such that each page I define is it's own blog, so when I write a new post I would need to pick which page to post it to?
thanks!

Hi,
I'm trying to do something similar and was wondering the same thing. I'm designing a website for someone who wants a 'news' page and a separate 'blog' page that he can update himself. I'm using a site with an i-frame and I just need a simple format that shows the post, date, etc. without the sidebar. So far I've been able to set up a 'news' page that works, but now I'm wondering how to add another similar page to the same site. If anyone knows how to do this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Don't use Pages. Use Categories.

Hi,
Thanks for the link. I guess my next question would be how do I set it up so that the posts under the 'blog' category show up only on the 'blog' page, and the posts under the 'news' category only show up on the 'news' page? And then how do I set them up to archive separately? I'm still a little confused about the whole hierarchy concept, I guess. Do I still need an index.php file, or can I just have a category-1.php and category-2.php files - or can I name them category-news.php and category-blog.php? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm very new and still trying to figure out a lot of stuff.
You're thinking about it all wrong. Don't use "Pages" at all. Categories get their own pages automatically.
http://example.com/blog/category/news
http://example.com/blog/category/blog
These are created for you automatically. You don't need to make any "Pages" to hold them, you get them for free.
The Category Templates are if you want to make custom Templates in your theme so that the category pages look different than other pages.

Oh, I think I understand. So, all I have to do is create two separate categories and point the corresponding url to each one? And, if so, how do I figure out the url? Thanks!

And now I can spend the rest of the day happy. That's totally the quote of the day.
