Hey everybody so I don't really know the correct terminology of what I'm trying to ask so bear with me. On the main page of my blog is generalized everything we post, the most recent up to date stuff. How do I go about having posts from the main page featured on seperate blog pages? For instance I found a way that might work so on the top of the page I have a tab that's just "Reviews". How do I go about having reviews I've posted in the past and new ones show up both under the main page when you go to the site AND under the reviews tab. I thought just making a copy of it and moving it over would work but that seemed to create its own version of that post with different comment sections and such.

If you want blog posts to appear in the blog page and on a second page, then create a blog summary block on the second page, that page could be called reviews. When you create a new post in your blog, the summary block automatically updates and that post appears. You can give the summary block its own layout, it does not have to look exactly like your main blog page. You can filter out posts from your main blog to appear on the reviews page using categories or tags or both. In other words, any posts with the cat "review" would appear on the reviews page if the block filters your blog posts that have that cat assigned to them. The reviews page can be located in a second blog or on a standard page. A second blog works well if you have multiple categories like I do with a pull-down menu of those cats (subjects) for my readers to find.

Awesome thank you! I'll have to run through this  after work tonight! Spent countless hours last night tinkering around with things and at 1 point thought I deleted all my articles.Being PC illiterate I still find myself running into roadblocks more often than not with tasks that in my head sound like they should be easy.
