Noobie question re Inline Posts plugin

    Hi there – a noobie to WordPress here, so bare with me if this is a silly question.

    I’m trying to divide my posts up so that they show on different pages. Am I right in thinking that the only way I can do this is to use the Inline Post plugin?

    The only way I can see of doing this is to update my Page (with a capital ‘P’) is to insert the post ID into my Page each time I wanted it updated … which doesn’t seem very dynamic and kind of undermines the flexibility of WordPress.

    I’m just wondering whether I’m trying to make my blog too much like a website. Is there a more dynamic way I can update my pages?

    Let’s get back to the basics; explain this:

    What is that “pages”? Or did you mean Pages. If the latter – forget it.

    Try to explain WHAT do you want to achieve… leave the HOW to us.

    Thanks for the reply Moshu – as you can probably guess I’m very much new to the whole idea of blogging.

    Anyway, it might help to have a look at the site. You can see it at ClickforChips.com

    Ideally it would be nice to have the “Home”, “Link” and “Contact” options linking to static pages. I’ve got a grip on how I’d do that.

    It gets a little bit trickier when I’d like to have the “News” and “Site Update” links as effectively two different blogs: so posts that I could write and then place in either of the two catogries so that they’d show up in chronoligical order in the relevant section.

    I don’t know if that’s possible though – I may well be trying to make my blog too much like a website. After all, I’ve got a feeling what I’ve described above is what the “cateogry” option is for …

    The only thing that confuses me:

    “to have the “News” and “Site Update” links as effectively two different blogs:”

    WP does NOT have multiple blogs feature. If you meant categories… then it’s easier than you thought.

    See if this tutorial helps. If not, post back.

    Ok, let me put it another way. Is it possible to have a static page on your home page and then ‘re-direct’ all your blog entries to another page?

    I am a bit reluctant to answer questions that could have been avoided studying your own admin panel in WP!
