• It may not be normally possible to make post on this site since it cant be associated with classifications and hence can not be allocated tags, The basic organization structure of sites originate only from their hierarchical interrelations, and not  the from Tags or Classifications 

 

• When posts are written, they  all  appear on the chief posts page,  however one may display particular posts on category pages with the use of our custom menu option. If one prefer, one may alter the default page for posts to be seen by alter Settings Reading in the Dashboard.  

 

• This will most likely require altering ones Front page too. The most excellent method to place posts on a page,  will need one to download and install List Category Posts Plug-in which opens up a fresh set of laonet alternatives on a Word Press site combining basic static web pages and blog posts. It enables one to present ones posts in a much more personal way rather than attempting to please  everyone at once.
