Hello, last week I set up my first blog on WordPress. I set up my blog so I'm the only one to post, but some of the users on it said they would like to be able to post too. I thought it would be a good idea but I don't want them to be on the main page with mine.
Is there an easy way to make it so the users can post but it wont show up on the main page. For example set up a different category with a link on the site that shows all of their posts.

The simplest way would be setting up a new category, adding it to the menu, and then give some or all of your users the role of contributor.
This way, they'll be able to post drafts, but not to publish them.
You'll then add the category to their post and publish it.
On top of that, you'll have to prevent that category from appearing on your main page, which is easily accomplished as explained here: http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Layout_and_Design#How_do_I_hide_posts_belonging_to_a_certain_category_on_the_front_page_index.php.3F
You must log in to post.
