How do I put other relevant rss feeds on my site?

So if I create a new blog post, call it "Tech", and I have a page called "Tech", can I put that post under that page? Or do all blog posts just fall under the one page?
You may be looking for categories. If you noticed, in your WP back office area, you'll see Posts -> Categories.
Categories can have a description, and some themes will feature that description. If you're not wanting to have additional content on the Tech page, then the category may be sufficient.
So, lets say you create a Tech category. You then create a Tech post, and indicate it should be in the Tech category by putting a checkmark in the checkbox beside the 'Tech' category (there's a category list - normally in the right-hand column when you're editing a post. Be sure you take it out of 'Uncategorized').
Hope that helps.
Another option would literally be a page, but you'd need to get into some programming or install a plugin that lets you do what you're after using short codes. You'd probably still need to have the categories though, since that is likely how the shortcode would know which posts to show.
Enjoy!
You can put a page, a category, or a custom link on a menu. Navigate to Appearance -> Menus and look at the options you have for links that can be added to the menu.
You're going through the tutorials. Right? :-)

So currently I have my main page as a sticky blog to introduce WA right away, with other posts coming up below it, and other pages with reviews for other affiliate sites. I do
I think a sticky/featured post is a great idea. I've never tried it before. How are your conversions?
Me, I only promote WA (now) in my product reviews. I used to promote it in every post I write lol but I stopped doing that because most of the time it didn't make sense.
Anyway, let me know how your WA sticky post is doing. Maybe I'll give that a shot.
Cheers.
Static pageblog roll or sticky blog?

I've got a whole lot of registrations from Yahoo and "feamail", among others. I'm expecting they're all bots. I want them dead. Who knows the best bot-annihilating plugin?</
I have just found a very good plugin called "wp security" there are a load of filters in it and stopping robots is one of them. and its free.
Hahaha - my first instinct was to say "a cannon" - sorry, had to do it.
I think within Google Analytics somewhere you can cut them off - pretty sure
You mean registering as users on your site? Go to Setting>General and uncheck the box "Anyone can register".
It doesn't mater. If you uncheck the box, there won't be an opportunity to register, human OR bot. You can filter bots out of analytics but you can't stop them from coming.
Alright, thank you. I suppose in the grand scheme of things, I don't need people to register anyway.
You really don't. They can't contribute anything to your site and you cannot use them as a subscriber list. They are useless unless you want to give them an administrative roll of some type, and you probably don't want that :)
