I'm new to WordPress and I'm just finding my way around. Is it possible to post different posts to different pages? For example, the site I'm trying to make should have a 'general' posts page, and if possible a 'specific topic' posts page. Then I can separate the two so if anyone wants to see only the page and information on the specific post, they can go to that page and not have to scroll through any of the 'general' posts that might be on the other page. Right now it seems all posts go to one page and there's no way to post to any page but that one page.
I've read about tags and categories and that seems to be the way I need to go, but I don't understand exactly what I need to do, or even if the result will be separate posts, the way I hope, or if it will basically just be a way for viewers to search.
