Needing multiple pages to have blog functionality

    I am currently developing my first WordPress site. I am currently using the Reverie Foundation.

    My client wishes to have one of the pages in the top-level navigation be ‘News’, with the ‘Company Blog’ as a drop down. The ‘Company Blog’ will serve as the primary blog, where news will be displaying everything from the ‘News’ blog post category.

    Does this mean that I need to have two separate blogs on my one website? Is there a way to just feed one category on one page but display it stylistically the same as the blog?

    Help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

    You could create a a page of posts page template.

    Thanks I think that led me in the right direction but I’m still encountering a problem.

    Again, I’m fairly new to coding in WordPress so my knowledge in php is limited.

    The code listed on the link you shared with me is designed for the TwentyEleven theme. So the following code is relative to that theme:

    <?php twentyeleven_content_nav( 'nav-above' );?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php twentyeleven_content_nav( 'nav-below' ); ?>

    Is there text in this code that I can modify to represent my own theme? Is it that easy? Or is this defining where the content goes stylistically on the TwentyEleven theme?

    You’d need to start by creating a custom page template for your theme.
