Yes, the "Display content from one page on another page" area in the theme documentation will teach you how to display excerpts from different pages on one page. The segment below it will also show you how to display content with certian tags. I also created an updated and improved custom theme screencast yesterday in which I demonstrate how this technique works. You can watch it at the top of the theme docs page.
Also, we will be adding a checkbox which allows you to display blog posts from all of your blogs under one blog shortly.
Lastly, your subpages are not appearing in the dropdown because the parent page also needs to have "Include in top nav" checked.

Scroll to “Display content from one page on another page” and “Display pages with a certain tag on another page”
I think this will solve my issues.
I love (hopefully) answering my own question!
I don’t know why though this didn’t come up in search…
So, I tried creating two pages (“news” and “press”) that are subpages of a “home” page (blank html page with no content) and then modifying the “home” template to pull posts from those pages using the {%subpage%} var, but no luck. Maybe my syntax is wrong or my logic as to how NB handles this?
Maybe there is documentation that explains this but can’t find it when searching.
TIA.
