   I see some wordpress blogs that have multiple pages with blog style posts on each page. I cant find how to do that. I only seem to be able to post blog articles on the front page, all other pages are just free form html, no option to write post. Am I missing something or is this theme specific? http://www.glutenfreepost.com

   I think you need to read up on Categories:

   esmi:
   I'm not sure I explained this well enough...
   I want to write individual posts on multiple pages. I read up on pages in wordpress and this is what it says:
   What Pages Are:

   Pages are for content that is less time-dependent than Posts.
   Pages can be organized into pages and SubPages.
   Pages can use different Page Templates which can include Template Files, Template Tags and other PHP code.
   What Pages are Not:

   Pages are not Posts, nor are they excerpted from larger works of fiction. They do not cycle through your blog's main page. (Note: You can include Posts in Pages by using the Inline Posts Plugin.)
   Pages cannot be associated with Categories and cannot be assigned Tags. The organizational structure for Pages comes only from their hierarchical interrelationships, and not from Tags or Categories.
   Pages are not files. They are stored in your database just like Posts are.
   Although you can put Template Tags and PHP code into a Page Template, you cannot put these into the content of a Page and expect them to run. (Note: You can achieve this by using a PHP evaluating Plugin such as Exec-PHP or RunPHP.)

   I've tried downloading the "Inline Posts Plugin" but it seems to be corrupted. However, even though WordPress says you can't...take a look at http://buzznewsroom.com/category/gaming/ and http://buzznewsroom.com/category/entertainment/
   So clearly it is possible. I hope this clears up what I am trying to do.

   Do you want something like the <!--nextpage--> quicktag?

   Hi iridiax...no, if you take a look at my blog http://www.glutenfreepost.com you will see the blog posts on the front/main page. I want to be able to create posts on my GFPTV page, Shopping page, etc. Sos basically I want to write a 'post' on any page I have up.

   Ah, if you don't want to use category archives for this, then see:

   Maybe I do need to read up on category archives to see what that will do..
