• Is there a way to blog on more than one page on the same site?

    On my site, i want to have a second page accesible from the links on top and be able to blog on that page as well, but it seems that i cannot do that.

    Anyone?

    Thanks…
    Scott

  • Sounds link you want certain pages devoted to certain categories? If so you can use category templates to show only the posts in a specific category.

    Thanks for the response.
    I don’t know if that’s what I need.

    I’m trying to post particular information on the main page by blogging and a second page that is only a blog of news and other info that doesn’t appear on the main page.

    I thought that maybe there was a way to have 2 separate blog pages clickable by the links at the bottom of the header.

    What ryan said.

    Make 1 category called “News”. Create a Category Template for News, perhaps it would be category-2.php. You won’t even have to modify The Loop in this template to display only posts from Category:News because that is what a category template will automatically do. However feel free to modify this template to display your News in a different way from the articles on your homepage (for example maybe you want to show Headline, Author, Date, Excerpt with Size 12 blue fonts on the News, but you’re showing Headline and The_Content with Size 10 red fonts on the homepage).

    Meanwhile in your index.php, change the code to display either:
    — Just the posts from Category:Homepage
    — Or, perhaps, all the posts except those in Category:News

    Yeah yeah, what she said. I did it here

    Still in progress though. This way I was able to do exactly what you want to do.

    News is cat2
    Events are cat3

    Thanks guys. I’ll give it a try when I get home. I’m not that great with CSS, but I’ll see what I can do.

    Remember, it’s not CSS (this is what dictates the style of your site), it’s PHP (worpress specific in this case). This is the scripting language that makes all the magic happen.
