New posts don't seem to show up on the page I designated.

Permalink Browser Info Environment
Hi,

I've selected the page in my site that I'd like the blog (as well as entries) to be on, however when I create a new post, it seems to make another separate page for each post, instead of adding the post in with the rest. Any advice?

Thanks!

sure. A blog post is in fact a new "page" that is organized in your site under a section/page that has the custom attribute "blog_section" designated. thus allowing you to post "under" that page. On that same parent/section page, you would use the "blog_list" block to show a list of posts underneath it. (or anywhere on the site by other filter types such as category or page_type). You can decide to not "truncate" the content, for the effect of continuous entries that you see on some blogs.

Awesome. I do see that now, thanks!

Another question, if I may - this particular blog (for a certain project) is nested under my own site. If someone clicks on a post, which is another page, I suppose I'd need to add a content link to get them back to the blog/my homepage, correct? Or is there a way to have it automatically generate a "home" link to click on, taking the reader back to the main page? Does that make sense?

you can show your home link in the main nav or what I do is have the site logo go to home. studies have shown people are used to doing that.

But the posts do have a next/prev link to go to the prev or next article. just and fyi

Thanks.

Under the NUMBER AND PAGE TYPES option, where it says "Display ____ pages of type (dropdown menu), what does one put? I'm guessing since the pafe type is Pb Post, I put that for the dropdown, but for "Display ____ pages" what should one put?
