 * I want to have the main page have recent posts on it so users can see recent 
   posts (duh!) but then I have a menu along the top with headings. I want to sort
   the posts by category so that the users can go there to view a specific topic.
 * My website is [http://pensarantesdehablar.com/](http://pensarantesdehablar.com/)
 * Like the post I have there now, it only appears on the main page (as recent content)
   but I want it to appear on “vocabulario” so that users looking for that can find
   it.

 * I’m not sure what you;re asking for. Do you want items in your top menu that 
   link to specific category pages?

 * Yes, but I also want those posts to appear on the main page as recent posts.
 * I want it to sort the posts into categories with the same name as the menu headings.
 * Sorry for not making it clear.

 * You can add category pages to your menu if you set up a [custom menu](http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Menu_User_Guide).
   Displaying posts on the front page sorted by category is going to be a lot more
   difficult. You’d need to first grab all of the categories slugs or ids into an
   array and then create a [custom query](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query)
   that looped through the category array.
