Is there a way to have a page that displays all my blogs?

  • Hey guys ok here is my ordeal I like having my Blog post in the front of my page I have it like this

    Home – About me- Gallery – Music – Contact

    But what I am looking to have is a Blog section within my site that holds all my post

    Like this

    Home – About me- Blog – Gallery – Music – Contact

    What would be that easiest way possible?

    Also how can I have a link on the bottom of my Home page where it says check out all blogs ?

    To see an example of what I am looking to do check out this Wp page

    Basically, all of your pages, except the “blog” page will be static pages. You set one as the front page and the others will show on the menu.

    If you want a link to your blog page within the front page, then you just create a link and point it to the blog page.

    example:

    <a href="www.yoursite.com/blog">Check out my blog</a>

    “blog” would be whatever you name your blog page.

    Would this still show my latest blog on my Front page?

    I would like it to.

    ???

    I’m confused…is your whole site a WP blog? If you’re whole site is already a WP blog, then you need to put some code in the template for your front page to pull in the latest post, or whatever post you want to show there. Then, you’ll have the latest post on the “home” page you have designated, and all of your posts on your “blog” page.

    Yeah my whole site is Wp.

    YES thats what I want to do for my front page where do I get the code from and where do I insert it?

    And then just have another page that holds all the archives of my blogs.

    THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!

    I am a bit New to WorpPress I am liking it and undersanding it more n more.

    Take a look at the technique described in How can I have a static front page and posts display on a page called Blog?, to get an idea of what’s possible.

    If you are using the latest version of wordpress, you can do this automatically in the wordpress backend. In your dashboard, go to Settings -> Reading and look for the “Front page displays”. You have the option to put blog posts on their own “blog” page while there is static content on the “home” page.

    Before you configure that, you must create two pages, a blog page and a home page. After you create those navigate back to your settings and point the blog entries to their respective page.

    Good luck.

    OK guys to complicated !

    I renamed my First page to Home which is the main wordpress page.

    And I did a static Blog page.

    All I need now is a Plugin I can just insert into my Blog Static page that will show my blogs in there?

    ??

    MylifeinFiction: You don’t need a plugin to display the posts on your “blog” static page. Just go to Settings > Reading from the Admin panel. Where it says “Front page displays”, select “A static page”. Then, select which page you want for you Front Page & then another page for your Posts Page. Easy peasy!
