    Hi there,

    I just added a new page so now I have homepage, about me and the new page. I have been posting to the homepage all along and now that I have a new page, I would like to selectively pick the page I want my post to go to. How can I do that? I have looked around my dashboard and settings but didn’t see any option that allows that.

    Please help.
    Thanks.

    I have checked out some of the old posts and it seems like I need a category for my new page. I have no problem with that. In fact, I want the new page to display all posts in that category and not any of the other categories. My question is how to do that. I don’t know Php though I have a programming background. Could you give me some idea how to get started?

    thanks a bunch

    pages dont hold posts.

    posts go inside categories. pages are *intended* for static content, more or less.

    I want the new page to display all posts in that category and not any of the other categories

    youre not understanding how pages work. the term “pages” when used in wordpress land is different than just “a page on the web”

    posts within categories are displayed in a paginated structure. Theyre not displayed on wordpress pages.

    You can look at nearly any wordpress blog on the web and see the differneces between posts and how they are displayed, and wordpress’ implementation of “pages”.

    How posts are displayed, aka your request above, is all a consequence of how you use the_loop.
