Need separate blogs in menu

    I run a private little site (using WordPress 4.0) as a pinball hobbyist. On the site I wish to have some static pages (no problem there) and then a few blogs as following example:

    • News
    • Renovation TAXI Pinball
    • Repear of Big Indian

      • I do not wish to have people interested in one of the above to have to sort by category.
      I hope there is a possibility to only have posts in the category news to show up in the news blog and category Taxi and Indian in their own separate blogs.
      I also wish to have all three blogs to have their own link in the menu.

      I have searched the web and also here at the forum and cannot find how to make this happen. I do get one and only one blog to function and I cannot block that blog from showing any category when writing a new post.

    Two ways to do this that I can think of.

    Easiest would be to build a custom menu and link to the category archive pages for each of those categories. This makes it easier for you since you’re only maintaining one installation. If they go to the category archive page they’ll only see the blog entries for that category. But if they did a search, they’d still see results from all of your blog categories.

    The other way would be to install and maintain separate installations for each blog, in separate directories. You’ll need extra databases for each blog, so you’d have to see if your host supports that. You’d still need custom menus to link from one to the other, and it would be much more of maintenance headache doing it this way.

    Ok. I tested the link to category and that does what I want. It also seems easier then to have several installations. Thanks.
