   Hello,

   I've set up word press just fine and installed a theme I'm happy with. I understand categories, pages and posts but what I want is this:

   On my main navigation that runs accross the top of my page (which is made up of categories) I want each of these categories to link to a specific page that I have created. And then, within each page I have links to sub pages of that page.

   I suppose my main question is - how do add a page to a category? And make that page the home page of that category?

   Also - how do I get rid of the 'Uncategorized’ category? I don't want it in my navigation.

   Thanks.

   Pages and posts should not be mixed. Pages don't have category.

   Rename that category.

   OK - But how do I link to a page from anywhere then?

   I'm a total newbie and and I know my question will have been asked a thousand times before but I kind of need pointing in the right direction. What I'm hoing to set up is a portolio site with a home page with blog type entries and then my main nav consists of - Home, Photography and Web Design. Each of these categories has a home page and then each home page has links to sub pages(posts/whatever).

   So - I can do all this with posts alone?

   Thanks.

   Pages or post or whatever.
   This is quite in contrast with your previous statement:
   I understand categories, pages and posts

   No, categories don't have a home page. They have... category archive pages (also known as category listings). Which, btw, can be customized, just look for the Docs: Category_Templates.

   So - I can do all this with posts alone?
   Absolutely.
   2 categories - photo &web design
   1 static homepage (set in your own admin panel, after you will really get familiar wit it... Settings > Reading)
   and, eventually, looking closer at those category templates.
