Next is the Excerpt section. At the bottom is the Discussion section where you can modify whether or not you are allow comments. Also whether to allow trackbacks and pingbacks.

To add your news pages and news categories to your main menus on your website go to Appearence and then Menus.

WordPress Menus Section


Then you'll see new options for adding menu links called News and Category. You can use these drop downs to add your news pages and news categories accordingly.
