Lee,
Thanks, worked perfectly. I didn't know you could do that, and I don't think I would have thought to try.

Thanks again,

Hi Cari

All I did to make the links to the blogs look like the 'Contact' link is to add the public blog list widget to the 'Menu' container. Try that and see if it works

Lee,
Thanks, that makes perfect sense and I got it all to work properly. Is there any way to easily make links to each separate blog, like you have here, so that they match the look of "contact"?

Thanks again,
-Cari

Ah, now I see what you mean. Thanks for the clarification. Actually it is the other way round. Blog, Plugins, Skins, Photos and Life Stream are all separate blogs. The 'Blog' blog is what is called an aggregate blog which will display all the posts from the other blogs (including its own posts). Any blog can be an aggregate blog you just have to go to:

Blog settings -> Advanced

for the blog you want to be the aggregate and look for the section called 'Blogs to aggregate:'. In there you need to put the ids of the blogs you wish to aggregate (including its own id if you want to display its own posts as well).

Does all that make sense ?

Sorry, I don't think I know the right terms to ask succinctly, but wordily, I meant: Here, on this site, you have pages "Plugins, Skins, Photos, Life Stream," that show posts, apparently from the main Blog, how do you do that?

I'm trying to set up a blog for a local poetry society and writing group, and we have a lot of poetry, prompts, photos, and articles, and it would be nice to separated in tabs/pages like you have done here.

Hope that was at least a little clearer, and thanks again for you help.

Hi Cari

I am not sure I understand your question. Could you elaborate a little for me?

I love the look and feel of this skin. I just started using b2evolution, so this might be a stupid question, but how do you put posts in the pages/about sections (like your photos section)?
