 * Hello,
 * Where can I learn about how do I get my posts to show up on two different pages
   that I’ve created on my website, and not on my home page? I still want to put
   posts on my home page, but some others are essays that i want to place on different
   pages that I’ve created.
 * This has been an incredibly frustrating problem to solve.
 * Thank you ahead of time.
 * Best,
 * Drew

 * Had the same issue. There seem to be a few ways to do this. The rockstar guide
   has a different approach than my solution:
 * 1. Duplicate your page.php and call it something like essay.php or whatever appropriate.
 * 2.Edit the essay.php to have this in beginning before anything else:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*
       Template Name: Essay
       */
       ?>
       ```
   
 * And change your loop to have the query_posts show only posts from a specific 
   category (only first line should be added):
 *     ```
       <?php query_posts('category_name=essay'); ?>
       <?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
       <?php the_content(); ?>
       ```
   
 * Create a category called essay.
    All the post to appear on essay page, should
   be within this category.
 * Then under pages, change your Essay page to use the Essay template (quick edit).
 * Then do the same with other pages.
