Good Afternoon all,  
I am new to basically every concept that I have been involved with on this website, so I am sorry in advance if most of the answers may go way over my head. I have finally gotten around to setting up every aspect of my website (News Site) using the headline template. Now I can’t seem to figure out how to send my posts into the individual pages that have been set up. I tried using tags, but this has not worked for me either or the more likely answer I am doing it incorrectly. The solutions posted have either been too complicated for me, not worked, or are not quite what I am looking for. Thank you all in advance for any help!

Please explain what you are trying to achieve, and share a link. Out of the box, posts are published from the domain root, e.g., [domain.com/blog-post/](http://domain.com/blog-post/), and the excerpt is displayed on the index page, e.g., [domain.com/](http://domain.com/) and the related tag archive(s), e.g., [domain.com/tag/tag-name/](http://domain.com/tag/tag-name/).

To change this behaviour you need to change the routing in routes.yaml.

[https://www.theacademic.us/international-news/](https://www.theacademic.us/international-news/) This is my page  
[Headline](https://ghost.org/themes/headline/) An example of what I am trying to do  
Basically what I am asking is how to get posts to go directly into an individual section. For example, in the demo template there are articles specific to the culture page. Whereas in mine I do not know how to put posts directly into the International section. I had found another page on here where the routing was explained, but I did not understand it as the posters had not gone into detail about the steps to achieve this. Thank you for the help!

Hey Ryan,

I think I understand what you’re experiencing. The header nav on the Headline theme comprises the individual tags from posts.

You have created a nav made up of `pages` that you have created. If you want to display your `international news` tag in the header nav of your site, then you will have to link to it instead of linking to the page you created.

Instead of:  
[https://www.theacademic.us/international-news/](https://www.theacademic.us/international-news/)  
it should read:  
[https://www.theacademic.us/tag/international-news/](https://www.theacademic.us/tag/international-news/)
