Create page "Blog"

Settings > Reading > Your homepage displays > A static page > Posts page > Select "Blog"

/wp-admin/options-reading.php

Hey, thanks for that

However, the blog seems to display the latest site reviews as posts, as each site review is added via post in maddos

I wanted a seperate blog to write articles etc if that makes sense

The main page has reviews ( Posts ) so essentially domain.com/post/

I want to create a seperate blog.. /blog so I can post other articles and not site reviews

I want to be able to post site reviews also

so yeah, i want to create a page called /blog and use that, so it maintains the same site design

so essentially, what I will do is,

Create a new category titled /blog
Install a custom category template plugin, and edit the category list to match that of a blog. change the text " read review" to " view full post " and remove some small stuff

However, the default post is tailored towards a review page, rather than a blog post. Is there a way to make custom post templates also?

wordpress now has the ability to use post templates like you can with custom page templates.
