Need help with adding blog posts to site pages
-
I’ve made my site pages how I’d like them, but I can’t add blog posts to them. How do I do that?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hey there,
Click on ‘my sites’ in the top left corner of your screen. When the menu opens up, you will see a list which includes, ‘blog posts’. Hit the ‘add’ button and you are on your way!
Here is some more information that you may find relevant.

Good luck! -
Hi. I have defined my blog posts by rubrics. But these rubrics are not shown in the menu. How can i do that?

Hey,
I’m not sure that I completely get what you are asking. Have you written your blog post and now wish to add it to your page, but are not seeing how to do so?
If yes, go to my sites once again and when the menu opens, instead of clicking ‘add’ besides ‘blog posts’, click directly on ‘blog posts’. A page will open that has any blogs that you have written, where you can edit them or if you are all set to post it/them, you can simply hit ‘publish’.
I really hope that this helps you out. -
İ am sorry, i couldn’t explain. I will try again.
I wrote my posts, I chose categories for them. Each category has its own name. What can I do for showing these categories in the main menu and when you click on them, you can see the name of all posts related to these categories?

Set up instructions for your theme are found here https://wordpress.com/theme/libre-2
Static pages you create are not dynamic and will not auto update.
Dynamic category pages will automatically display all published posts that you have assigned to that specific category.
By default the front page of a blog displays all published posts in reverse chronological order with the most recently published post on top. When we publish a post on WordPress software the software automatically creates the same entry in the Archives, and on the dynamic (automatically updating) Categories and Tags pages in accord with the Categories and Tags we assign to that post.
Organizing posts
Dynamic category pages https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/ created by the software when we assign categories to posts are also not the same as static pages https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ we create.You can create a custom menu and include multiple dynamic category pages that automatically display the published posts assigned to the the specific categories in reverse chronological order.
Assign categories to posts.
Create a custom menu.
Add the dynamic category pages to into the custom menu.You begin by assigning categories https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/ to your posts.
So when we create custom menu and add the dynamic (automatically updating) category pages to that custom menu we create the appearance (not the reality) of posting to more than one page.
You need to be aware that:
1. There are differences between posts and pages described here
https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/2. There are differences between static pages we bloggers create https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ that will not automatically update, and dynamic category pages created by the software when you publish a post which will automatically update https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/.
3. We organize posts by category assignment prior to publication. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/ and when we publish posts the dynamic category pages they automatically display on are determined by the categories we assign to them.
So the process you need to use is:
a. Assign Categories to your Posts. https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories
b. Create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#1-create-a-custom-menu
c. Add only the dynamic category page links into the custom menu that you want to appear in that menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-category-pages and arrange them as you wish them to appear https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus
d. Create pages and sub-pages for static content, not for posts https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
e. Add any custom links and other items like static pages and sub-pages into your custom menu
https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-custom-links https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-pages
and arrange them as you wish them to appear https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menusPlease see https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

Let us know if you still need a hand with this – timethief gave you a lot of good info above.
The key info is that you can link to your categories by using the automatically generated category links in a custom menu.
For example, this is the link to your “compositions” category page:

Just let us know if you get stuck, we’re here to help!
