 * I made a theme and whatever page I submit a post it ends up on my homepage. is
   there a way to post to specific pages that are not the homepage? How do you do
   this?
 * If im on page id=3 I want to be able to post and see posts on that page.
    If 
   im on page 1d=59 I want to be able to post and see the posts ont that page too.
 * Do I need to alter the PHP in the LOOP of my theme to do this or is there something
   elso im missing.
 * thanks
    Rob

 * That sounds like a page of posts, so give this a read.

 * Play with the `$args` to get the `query_posts($args);` to display only what you
   want. In that example the `$args` are controlled by
 *     ```
       args= array(
       	'category_name' => 'antiquarianism, championship', // Change these category SLUGS to suit your use.
       	'paged' => $paged
       );
       ```
   
 * You can use different criteria for selecting which posts get picked.

 * Also `WP_Query` is a good way to select what you want too.

 * Thanks so much for the help/reply. I read through the page of posts codex page
   and this really helped to start to get what I need. What I am really looking 
   for (I think) is a way to get the current page id–which is actually the post 
   id as I cant find page id in the codex?
 * I think if I get the page/post id I can somehow make the post, post on the same
   page. Any ideas on how to do this????
 * The reason I need to do it this way is I am going to have probably 50 or more
   pages with the need to post on that page and post “to” that page. If I do this
   with categories in an array I wont have unique post data on all 50 pages like
   I need. At least that’s what I think.
 * Any suggestions
    Thanks again for taking the time Rob

 * You can get the ID and check if it’s a page or a post using `get_the_ID()`.
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_ID](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_ID)
 * ID’s are unique (I recently was reminded of that!) and you can easily test if
   the ID is for a page or for a post. See this pastebin link for a simple example.

 * Not sure what you mean by that. 🙂 The post of pages link is a template to be
   applied to a page. You set up the conditions in the template and apply the template
   to the page.
 * When people visit the page, the template kicks in and they see the posts you’ve
   setup in that template.
