WordPress Basics – If you’re new to wordpress, you may be asking yourself what the difference between a post and a page?

Here are a few pointers to help you better understand the difference.

WordPress pages are just static. They’re  a good way to publish information that doesn’t change much, like an About page. Pages usually appear  in tabs/links across the top of your website. Pages are not associated with a date/time like posts. There may be occasions where you will need to change or update a page ie  perhaps you may have a portfolio or product page.  More on pages

Posts are entries that display in reverse chronological order on your blog’s front page. Posts are used to easily add new information to your website. They will appear one after the other on the Blog page with the most recent posts on top. Your blog is a great place to post any news about your company. You can announce a new product or service, profile an existing client, or point to a link on another website that might interest your readers.

The title you chose for a post is usually longer, and more descriptive than a Page title. This makes it easier for readers to look through your posts and find the specific post they are interested in. Posts can also be assigned to different categories to group similar post together. You can chose as many categories as you like. This post is listed under the WordPress category.
