Thank you for any input guys. The trouble of creating a website, buying a domain and hosting server etc is totally out atm.
Makes sense. It's a good deal of trouble to get all that set up, not to mention it will likely cost money. o.o
For now the best solution seems to be making use of "Pages" rather than "Posts" (although I am not sure what are the differences in Wordpress, any ideas?)
That's for when you click on said page, it shows content, but neither this page nor its content is listed on the blog post index (main page of the blog).
See LearnNavi.org website, a WordPress site. The main page,
http://learnnavi.org/ itself is a Page called Home. This is just a single page that is not part of the blog. It contains very general content about what the website is, and some other pertinent information. There is a tab bar. The following tabs lead to Pages: All of them except "News". As you'll notice, the News tab leads to a Blog Index page. A chronological listing of all blog post titles and their content. Clicking on a title in this list just shows the Post/Article. Hopefully, navigating around our website helps with the understanding of the difference between WordPress Pages/Posts.
and format the About Page accordingly to create a content index of articles, as I make them.
This is interesting. Why do this, when you could just continue to use a blog? The main page of a blog is either a landing "Home" Page (like learnnavi.org/ ), or a chronological Article Index that is automatically updated upon publishing. (like learnnavi.org/news or tireaaean.wordpress.com/ )
