\"Posts
They may seem alike, but there are some key differences between posts and pages.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In many ways, posts and pages are similar. However, there are a few key differences that you will need to bear in mind when you are creating content.<\/p>\n

Posts<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Most of the content you create on your WordPress site will be in the form of posts. They are a defining factor of the blogging format – if you are using a traditional blog layout, they will be listed in reverse chronological order on your home page. Additionally, visitors to your site can leave comments on your posts.<\/p>\n

You are able to assign posts to categories, and you can also “tag” them with relevant keywords. They will display in category lists, archives, and\u00a0RSS feeds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can manipulate the display of posts in many ways – for instance, you can install widgets (find out more<\/a>) that displays the\u00a0most popular<\/a>\u00a0or recent posts (I have not included a link to a recent posts widget because it is already available in a standard WordPress install).<\/p>\n

Pages<\/strong><\/h2>\n

“One-off” things such as About pages and Privacy Policies are usually published as pages. They will typically be listed in your navigation bar, although you can also display them in a widget.<\/p>\n

You will probably only have a few pages. You will have lots of posts.<\/p>\n
