How to change category of a post automatically in WordPress?

How can I have multiple "blog-like" pages with my wordpress installation?  If i use the same one on all the pages the posts get mixed up.  I'd rather not enable MU but instead work with some sort of "Category system" that determines which post should be showed on which page.

  This can be done using categories -just like you want. Make a post category for each "blog" you want to display posts on.  Example: If you are going to have a page with posts about cats, make a category called cats. then make a category called dogs, and then one for fish. Assign each post to the correct category where you want it to appear. Go to Settings>Permalinks and choose the last option to display "/%postname% as your link structure.  This will allow you to set up SEO friendly links to each of your "blogs" on each subject. Go to Appearance>Menus and edit your current menu or set one up if one doesn't exist on the page.  Call the menu whatever you want. Create custom links in your menu to make wordpress display a page with all of the blog posts in a specific category.  Example menu link: http://yoursite.com/category/cats Menu links can be named whatever you want like "cat blog".  Visitors clicking on  the "Cat blog" menu link will arrive at a page displaying your latest cat posts.  This goes for each category page link you make in your menu. When you make new posts, assign them to the category where you want them to be displayed.
