 * It is possible to save the index as… million names. The question is: what do 
   you want to do.
    What exactly do you mean by “creating new posts for it”???
 * Maybe you should learn a bit about the template system of a theme:

 * moshu: what it is Im trying to do is this…In the theme Im using there are tabs
   that are created when a person sets up a Page Template. Well I want to setup 
   a page template but I want the page to actually function as another area for 
   me to make posts, almost as if it were to blogs in one.
 * someone said to use categories but that doesnt fit the bill for me because I 
   want the post I make

 * You won’t be able to do this.
 * Pages do not function like a separate posting environment (i.e. a sub-blog). 
   A Page is little more than a specialized post that sits outside the dated-archive
   structure of normal posts. But like a post, each Page is just one, and there 
   is no way to subdivide a Page into what you’re describing.

 * Well, there are no ‘sub-blog’ features built into WordPress. It’s one install,
   one blog. I can’t say it fits exactly what you’ve described, but a plugin like
   Miniblog may be worth a look:

 * Another option is to check out some of the ‘alternative projects’ dealing with
   multi-blogging solutions and WordPress:
