This is the first time I've used WP and I want to add multiple posts to my pages like I have on my blogger site.
Does anyone know how to do this? I've gone through the WP forum and I'm finding similar questions but not
exactly like mine.
Here's my old site: http://www.smittenbybritain.com
Thanks!

Your home page in Fresh Journal is being controlled by the home.php file. In it, I've set it up to only show excerpts. You would need to customize this file in order to allow full posts.
If you want to show full posts, you will need to replace the following line of code (found on your home file):
<?php the_content_limit("$freshjrl_homepage_excerpt", ""); ?>
with
<?php the_content(); ?>
That should pull the entire post. Let me know if that works for you.

Just re-read your question and now I'm wondering if my answer even addresses your issue :). Are you talking about displaying full posts? Not quite sure what you mean by multiple posts as your home page and archive (cat) pages all show multiple post excerpts. Let me know.
Hi Keller,
I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing.
The home page is fine. What I want to do is link up pages to the navigation bar, but on those pages include more than one post. Right now it looks like WP pages only allow for one post. I know there is a way to do it because I've seen it done on other WP blogs, just can't figure out how.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about. Go to this blog and click on Weight Loss News on the navigation bar.
You'll see she has multiple posts listed on one page. This is what I would like to do for all of my pages.
http://theweightlosschick.com/category/weight-loss-news/
I wonder if it would be a case of editing the page.php file?
Thanks again!

Wow - I was way off, huh?
This is a standard WP feature. It has to do with categories, not pages. What she has done is categorized those posts under "Weight Loss News." When people click on the category, they see all posts filed under it.
This feature is built into Fresh Journal. If you visit this webpage on the demo site, you can see it: http://simplyfreshthemes.com/demo/freshjournal/category/category-2/ I named the category "Category 2" just like she named hers "Weight Loss News." The category pages are controlled by the "archive.php" file.
Fresh Journal only shows pages in the top nav. The bottom is where you can choose to list all categories. If you want to add categories to your top nav, you will need to replace the page code (<?php $excludepages = get_option('freshjrl_page_exclude'); wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=4&use_desc_for_title=0&exclude=' . $excludepages); ?>) with category code ( <?php wp_list_categories(); ?> ). Please note, the stylesheet is not set up to style sub-cat dropdowns.
Let me know if this addresses your issue.
You're brilliant! I'll give this a shot and let you know how it goes. I figured I could do it, but just didn't know what it was called in WP lingo. ;)
I understood the whole category thing but could not figure out how to actually pull those categories into a single page.
I finally found a plug in that does it for you called "Page Links To."
Working nicely now.
