My brain is about to explode!

Hi,

I have just (2 days ago) set up my first wordpress blog site (.com) I am normally pretty good with navigating my way around technology and working out how stuff works – but my brain is about to pop!

I want to (simply?) make posts on various subjects – that fall under certain (wary of using the wrong terminology here…) categories – or maybe menus – or headers, or pages, or buttons or sub-groups…!!!!) ie. Stuff on MUSIC – FOOD – and THEORIES AND IDEAS – plus ANYTHING ELSE for… anything else….

I’ve opened with a post (I hope) about me to introduce myself. I want this to be placed under the ‘Anything Else’ ‘heading’….. but if I click on any of the headings I’ve set up (Categories????) they all go to my main page…

I have seriously tried to read – and re-read the glossaries, terminology listings and ‘how-to’s to do this – but am completely lost now.

I think I have posted my first blog.
I think I have added a couple of tags.
I thought I had created areas in which to pop the post in – but don’t really understand the categorization thing at all…

I have NO idea how anyone will find what I post – or where it’s posted under.

I need a lie down.
Can anyone help a newbie with issues?
Thanks,

AD (of planetadie)
