You can create a separate page for blog posts using the default settings in WordPress.

1. **Add a new page** – Log in to your WordPress Dashboard, and click on **Pages > Add New.** This step is pretty self-explanatory. Since you already have an existing business website and you want to add a blog, you’ll need a page for your blog to live. ![create page](https://phox.wdes.org/docs/assets/create-page.C0hGKiIH_Z1494aR.webp)
2. **Name the page** – Let’s name it “Blog” for easy identification. Leave the text box blank because you want the page to act as a feed for your posts — not a static read page.
3. **Publish the page** – In order for your Blog page to go live, you need to publish it. Don’t worry about where the posts go just yet — we’ll tackle that later.![publish page](https://phox.wdes.org/docs/assets/publish-page.iose4TAx_9ztX0.webp)
4. **Navigate to the Settings section** – When you’re in your Dashboard, you’ll see a column along the left with all the different things you can do in WordPress. Go to **Settings > Reading** to bring up the page seen above. ![select page](https://phox.wdes.org/docs/assets/select-page.C_kDIhxC_13luSg.webp)

Now, when you navigate to the **Pages » All Pages** screen from the WordPress dashboard, you’ll see that the Blog page is labeled ‘Posts Page’, Go ahead and click on the ‘View’ link under the Blog page to preview it.
