Want to create landing pages that display blog posts with certain tags

[jhill9909]

Hello - I’m really new to working with X-Theme. I am building a website - and I want to have a blog – but also - I want to have separate landing pages for blogpost tags.
For example, if i have a blog post with the tag of Africa – I want that post to show up on my Africa Main Page.

Is this possible to do?

Best case would be that the posts auto populate as they are written onto their correct landing page. But if not - then at least I would like to build a landing page and manually populate that page with particular blog posts. But I don’t see an option in Cornerstone Elements to insert a blog post.

Any help or direction you could give me would be very much appreciated!!!
