Post to different page?

    Hello;

    I am wanting to have a seperate page for posts to go to than the main page. What I’d like is to have index.php display some static information in the content area, but keep the links, calendar and other php info in the side column. I’d like the actual content to be posted on a different page. Is this possible?

    Or is it possible to have 2 blog pages, but sharing the same links, navigation, etc.?

    I hope I’m explaining this properly.

    Cheers,
    Birdie

    See this post for basic instructions on setting up another page to use WordPress features:

    Then just add the various template tags where you want them to display.

    Another, easier way of going about this if you’re planning to retain layout and whatnot, is to take your index.php template, rename it, and edit out the portions you don’t want to use (and edit in whatever content you want).

    Okay. I’m fine with getting the index.php to display the content I want. I can do that. What I can’t do is make another page which the posts will go to. I tried just copying the original index.php and renaming it ‘articles.php’, but when I go to articles.php in the brower it doesn’t exist.

    Any ideas on how I could do that? And I’d also have to make sure that when I make a new post it goes to articles.php. I am assuming that’s what will happen, but can’t test it since articles.php isn’t being recognized.

    BTW I’m using 1.5 beta at http://www.handspinners.ca
