    Can I have 2 separate blogs on one website.
    Site will have a static homepage.
    I want two separate blogs, same Admin to post on both sites, no comments.
    Can this be done

    You can have two sites but they will have their own Admin areas. Alternatively, set up two top-level categories and file your posts under one or the other as appropriate.

    Alternatively, set up two top-level categories and file your posts under one or the other as appropriate.

    I have created two Categories Blog A and Blog B.

    I go into "Settings" -> "Writing" and set "Default Post Category" to Blog A
    I go to New Post, set Category = Blog A, and the post appears on the Blog A page

    I go into "Settings" -> "Writing" and set "Default Post Category" to Blog B
    I go to New Post, set Category = Blog B, and the post appears on the Blog A page, not Blog B page, WHY ?

    What am I doing wrong?

    You can only have one main posts page and it will always list all of your posts - unless you add a custom query to your theme's index.php template file. Switching the posts page back & forth on Settings -> Reading won't achieve anything.

    OK, but seems to conflict with your first reply.

    Can you tell me how to "add a custom query to your theme's index.php template file" or direct my to a post that would explain. I am familiar with PHP and have looked at index.php in my theme root.
