    Hello,

    I currently have a blog on the blogger platform and i would like to migrate to wp(got the domain and hosting).

    My questio is whether, within a single blog, one can have multiple dynamic sections (pages) to which he could post various post.

    For example, when i publish them, i would like to have post A in section “general”, post B in section “personal”, post C in “general” etc….and also have links to this section on a front general page that would show the last or the lateste posts from all section (eventually in separate columns).

    Is there a chance to do this in wp? And how? Documentation?

    Please excuse me for my lack of technical language…and i really hope to receive some help on this topic.

    Best regards,

    Maruan

    Yes, what you are referring to is a page of posts…the documentation is

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages

    What you would do is to assign categories to the posts, and then display the posts on a page for that specific category. You could then create links to these pages.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you for your asnwer!

    While I was able after reading it to understand the whole idea and upload the pageofposts.php file in a certain theme, I got stuck again.

    I was expecting an option of some sorts to help me build a blog page containing only the posts from a certain category, but ll I got is a supplementary option calle “pageofposts” in the dropdown list of attributes within the page creation menu.

    And now my problem is: effectively, how do I set up that page to only disply posts of a certain category? Is there an option I failed to see? Do i have to edit something manually? I really don’t know…so I’m stuck again!

    in the pageof posts example, there is code that looks like
    if (is_page(’21’) ) {
    $cat = array(12);
    } elseif ( is_page(’16’) ) {
    $cat = array(32);
    } elseif ( is_page(’28’) ) {
    $cat = array(17);
    } else {
    $cat = ”;
    }
    this code says if the page id is 21 then display category 12, if the page id is 16 then category 32, page id 28 then category 17..

    you should edit your page.php file or better yet, create a page template with the modifications

    good luck…stay with it!!!
