Can Wordpress Split Too Long Pages?

[realthor 0]

I have a blog on blogger and it's getting annoying that it never makes another page and thus it becomes a huge page with as many images or articles as you post.I want to migrate to Wordpress but i wonder if is it possible let's say after 10-15 posts to get another page just as forums do or google , so that the visitor doesn't have to wait until the whole bunch is loaded.Another question I have is: what's the difference between pages and categories in a blog, because i'm not familiar with them. In a normal web site there would be some navigation menu with submenus and that seems more logical to me than having categories. And if categories are just what i've described above than what's the point of having pages. Does categories mean that whatever my entry would speack of one could keep track of the subject and display just those interesting him?ok,and the final one this post: how can i categorize one entry i make?hope not too stupid the post so waiting for an answer.

I think you can specify the number of entries on one page. It must be in the WP Admin panel somewhere. Oh okay. I just checked it and If you go to OPTIONS > READING, and find BLOG PAGES you can set the number of post per page. I'm not sure what your question is so I'm just going to say some stuff what I think might be the answer. The categories are for you to set. Like Entertainment, Music, TV, News, School, or some subject area. YOu can set your own Title for the specific blog post so you can search for it easier. To set categories click on MANAGE then Categories and you can find the ADD NEW CATEGORY box in there. I trust you know what to do.Then when you want to post click on the WRITE "tab" and start writing. To select what category after you have added some already, there is a box to the right which checkboxes. click the appropriate checkbox.i hope that answers your questions. If I didn't write clearly i appologize.

thanks, clear enough. Another question: is there a way to e-mail new posts, without entering the wordpress admin page? And if it is then how can i set the category from within the mail directly?

this is from wordpress' readme file:

Post via Email

 

You can post from an email client! To set this up go to your "Writing" options screen and fill in the connection details for your secret POP3 account. Then you need to set up wp-mail.php to execute periodically to check the mailbox for new posts. You can do it with Cron-jobs, or if your host doesn't support it you can look into the various website-monitoring services, and make them check your wp-mail.php URL.

 

Posting is easy: Any email sent to the address you specify will be posted, with the subject as the title. It is best to keep the address dicrete. The script will delete emails that are successfully posted.

as for category settings for blog posts via email, you need to set up the default category in wordpress where you want your email posts to end. this you need to customize via admin page initially. then email submissions will be later on categorized to your default category.
