    I want to create a new page where I can post just to that page, I create a new category, but when I go to post to it, it posts both in the main website and the category page. I take the checkmark out of the ‘uncategorized’ tickbox and tick the new category tickbox, but it stilkl posts to both. Did I set up categories wrong or something? I’d like to have a new page where I can list books, merchandise etc

    By default, everything goes to the main page. All posts, all categories.

    If you wish to change that (to only have some categories on the main page) you’ll want to either adjust your theme’s code or use a plugin.

    To adjust your theme manually, have a look at the documentation on The_Loop. You’ll see some examples there on managing what categories are shown.

    For the plugin approach, there are many that searching will turn up. Here’s one: http://ryowebsite.com/?p=46
