 * Hello everyone. I added several different pages to my site (home, about, testimonials,
   services, blog etc.). Now I want to post some content in services page but can0t.
   Also, I want my blog page to contain blog posts but I can’t figure out how to
   do it either. My home page is static and I have no problems there. Another problem
   is adding a custom field. I’ve read numerous tutorials on adding posts to blog
   and adding custom fields but I have no idea where to find that same custom field
   to input data. It0s driving me insane. What am I missing? Please help.

 * To make the blog page your posts page, on the Dashboard menu go to Settings/Reading.
   
   Set Posts Page to your blog page.
 * The box to enter Custom Fields is below the editor box when you are editing a
   Post. If you don’t see that box, open up screen options in the upper right corner
   and make sure there is a check in the Custom Fields checkbox.

 * Unbelievable! I’ve had my had around this for days now and it never occurred 
   to me to look in settings. Live and learn, right? Thanks for the help. I really
   appreciate it.
 * Anyway, as for the blog posts, I did what you told me but the problem with that
   is that now I can’t have posts in other pages like Testimonials or Services. 
   I want to be able to have Services page static but with posts, Testimonials so
   that people will be able to make their own posts and Blog for me to blog occasionally.

 * Hi
 * See if this old post I wrote helps you set up one category per page
    [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-only-x-category-posts-on-page?replies=9#post-1053767](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-only-x-category-posts-on-page?replies=9#post-1053767)
   You can ask questions if any remain.
 * If after setting this up you want to exclude posts on the Testimonial or Services
   pages from appearing on your home page, you can either add an “exclude” parameter
   to a query_posts statement on your posts page, or use the Advanced Category Excluder
   plugin to accomplish the same thing.
 * If you want to add the code, it is this:
    <?php $paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’))?
   get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1; query_posts(“cat=-3,-7&paged=$paged”); ?>
 * where 3 and 7 would be the category IDcodes for the two categories you want to
   exclude (you must use the ID’s from your live site, not my sample numbers of 
   3 and 7. The minus in front of the 3 and 7 means to exclude and not include that
   category ID. (If your index.php page already has a query posts before the WordPress
   loop you have to merge the code above with the existing query_posts code) Again,
   you can ask more questions if necessary.
