[support] Help with Views

[Adam Eyring]

Hi Shai,
Thanks for your reply. I was familiar with that route, but it seems that I 
have a parent page that is preventing additions to it. If you look at the 
HSA Updates tab of www.jsjenks.org, you can see it has administrative info 
on it, but I can't add to it like a blog so the newest entry goes on top. If 
you look at the home page, you can see that we're adding current info at 
least weekly like a blog. Is there a lock or something that needs to be 
configured so a tab will take new pages without using the edit function? 
I've heard it has to do with Views, but it's confusing how the Views work. 
Thanks.
Adam
