So on the main page of your blog, you want to see more than 10 posts or whatever?
Go to your admin section, select Options tab, then Reading tab, and in Show at Most change the number to however many you want to see.
vkaryl,
Thanks for your reply.
What happens, for example, to the eleventh post if it is set to 10? On my blog, there is no “Page 1” created to view older posts. Posts beyond my setting (10) are simply inaccessible. How do I make them accessible?

You’d add that to an appropriate place in your theme template(s).
Yes, this sounds like the answer. But keep in mind, I’m absolutely new at this. The link provided says what I need, but not how to make it happen. (WordPress is excellent — but there’s a big gap between the lingo and the newbie).
What is the procedure for editing my theme (Quentin) for automatically creating pages? I am in the Theme Manager, but where on earth do I insert any page html into the gobblygook I see??

True, but we’re really helpful here. :)
Simplest addition to get next/previous page links:
<?php posts_nav_link(); ?>
In the Quentin theme, edit index.php (i.e. Main Index template) and look for this block of code:
<div class="feedback">
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
</div>
Placing the above posts_nav_link() tag right after this seems a good place for it.
Most helpful, I agree!
Okay… we’re getting close. I pasted this info where you said. Then, when clicking that link in the blog, I get a dead end page with the info:”The document you requested is not found on this server.”
Also, this next page appears in every post. I only want it to appear after the 10th post at the bottom of the page.
What next? (Thanks for your help!)
Hm… I can’t get this to work. I simply want to have a new page created when more than 10 posts appear on a page.
This must be a simple thing, no?
“This must be a simple thing, no?”
Yes it is but…
To avoid any possible confusion lets straighten out the terminolgy used.
A WP “Page” (in caps) is accesssed and written via your Dashboard > “Write” > “Write Page.” (You will also notice “Write Post” there and that is what you have set as default 10)
A Page is separate and distinct from a “post” A Page can be used for anything, the most common thing is for and “About Page,” but can be used for anything. A list of your Pages are either in your sidebar or in a NavBar under your Header Image dependent on what theme you are using.
It would also be very helpful if you include a link to your blog.
Marc,
Here is my blog: http://www.markmallett.com/wordpress/?cat=2
I still do not understand how old posts appear on another page after the 10/page default is reached.
Thanks.
To make matters worse, WordPresses template link isn’t working: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/posts_nav_link
