   I'm grateful for your patience and love in dealing with an experienced old hand HTML guy who is learning WordPress.

   --------
   OBJECTIVE: Three main pages at the top of page navigation -- "Education" and "News" and "Articles."

   When someone clicks on "Education" it takes them to a page with a blogroll of Education posts. When someone clicks on "News" it takes them to a page with a blogroll of News posts. When someone clicks on "Articles" it takes them to a blogroll of article posts.

   Ideally each of these pages would have their own RSS feed. Someone could subscribe to just the Education RSS or the News RSS or the Articles RSS.
   --------

   I'm really not looking for some "category" widget with a vast list of tags.

   So -- I am very, very grateful if someone could explain how the above objective can be realized -- or if it can't. Code, theme, plugin? Any clear instructions or referrals or links is genuinely appreciated.

   Thank you!

   Simple version...

   The standard index.php will list all posts within a category when you click on a category. So you'd make Education, News and Articles as categories and set your posts under those.

   Then when you visit that particular category page on your site it will display the posts how all of the other posts on your site are displayed.

   Intermediate version...

   Create a category.php file and that will give you a better control over how your category content will be displayed.

   Advanced version...

   Create a category-education.php, category-news.php and category-articles.php and have super fine control over how each individual section of categories are displayed.

   You can also check out http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates as that explains how the hierarchy works.
