Help me make my wordpress site into a blog..
 

Yes, I know I know wordpress is a blog

BUT

My site isn't functioning as a blog right now.

Here.

Let me explain my site.

I have a static home. I have created pages which link to various areas of the site - About us, prices, opening hours etc. I even have a shop.

I don't have a link to a blog section.

My pages all have separate categories.

For example. A page may be about a new kitchen table and would look like this: http://www.awesomekitchentables.com/ kitchen/sexy-kitchen-table-2017

I sometimes write POSTS. These tend to be about one off things or events that are happening. These would look something like this: 400 Bad Request base-units

I would like to put these posts withing a blog section. How do I do that?

If I understand correctly, your Wordpress site is using a static homepage, and you're using pages for your products.

Now you want to add a "blog" section to your site, where your posts would be available.

If that's the case, you can follow these steps:
Adding a blog section to Wordpress

These articles should help you with some other Wordpress concepts in case you might need a refresher:

Difference between Worpress pages and posts

Difference between Wordpress' static homepage vs regular homepage

Do you want use landing page as homepage. It is very easy to do, just create a new page and you will need to do a few changes in the settings. The link that FetishGimp gave you will help you.

You just create a blank page called blog and set it in here: Screenshot by Lightshot and it should do the trick...

so that blog posts will appear at site.com/blog

Umm how would I then get the posts to appear their? surely they would default to the position they currently in.

Wow a resourceful thread on GFY!

set it as the post page in settings, so /blog/ page will list your posts

Bump.

I have created a blank page called blog which is now in my menu but it's blank when I open it. How do I get those posts to point to the blog page now?

In Wordpress, under "Settings" > "Reading" you set "Front page" to whatever page you're using now, and for "Posts page" choose your Blog page.

This doesn't work for me.
My current homepage isn't a wordpress generated page (not by me at least.)
The page is part of the theme which just has various editable services etc.

you probably want some kind of loop or query. can you tell me what theme you are using.
