Does my site contain 1 or more Blogs??

Well, the title pretty much describes it.
I was wondering if I publish more artciles on my site, do they all appear on the blog? As extra comments? or does each articles have it's own section with seperate comments??:confused:
I was just wondering about this since I have many cool ideas about new articles and I don't want them to be mixed together....can it be done?
If so, how?
Thanks

    Apologies, but to me this question doesn't make a whole lot of sense, for the simple reason that how your site is set up / designed (i.e. depending on the Wordpress theme you're using, and how you've customised it) dictates how new posts will appear.

    But, on most blogs and in most cases, the home-page will display a specified number of blog posts (or excerpts), and clicking on the post title will take you to that post's own dedicated page, complete with any comments, trackbacks and so on that that post may have received.

    But, you have control over how all of this works, by configuring your blog's settings, and changing or customising its theme.

    Hi there
    depending on how you have got things set you can put articles all the same blog as posts. These will appear as separate posts and you can put them in different categories.
    i.e. If you have a weight loss blog you can set up different categories and then add posts to each category. So you might have:-
    Nutrition category with all your posts about nutrition in that category
    Exercise category with all your posts about how to exercise correctly in that category
    Etc, Etc

    You can also have completely separate blogs on one domain. Just install wordpress on subdomians.
    i.e. www.yourdomain.com
    www.yourdomain.com/nutritionblog
    www.yourdomain/exerciseblog

    Just stipulate where you want your wordpress blogs to be.
    Personally I would have 1 blog with different categories or completely separate domains with wordpress installed on the root directory
    Hope this helps
    Mark

        The problem appears to be that you're attempting to "hotlink" an image from someone else's blog - through Google's image-cache URL, no less.

        I'm not condoning using other peoples' images without permission, but if you're going to use it and want it to display, you need to first save it to your computer, then upload it (and not just link to it) via Wordpress.

        You need to go to your local bookstore and find a book on how to create and maintain a blog. If it's a Wordpress blog get Wordpress for dummies. That is a good book to get you started. If you can't modify your site you either need to hire someone to do it or learn to do it yourself. It's that simple.

          Finally, I got a picture in there. Not the one I wanted, but screw it, it relates to the theme and it isn't giving me any lip...
          On to posting a few more articles and praying they dont vanish into thin air.
