When you use WordPress as your website, you get more than just ‘pages’ of your site.  You get the blog ‘post’ feature that not only creates an online web page, but it also gets distributed through your RSS feed.  (RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication).  That means when you make a blog  ‘post’ to your site, other people will see it automatically in either their email, feed reader, or social media site (such as Facebook or Twitter).

Now you could keep things simple, and just create a website with pages only.  That would be considered a CMS (Content Management System) site.  Fancy words for ‘just a simple straightforward site’.  Or you could use the ‘post’ feature, as I am doing here with this blog post.

So, what does the word ‘post’ mean?

Well a post is an action: you can ‘post’ and article to your blog or you can ‘post’ a comment

A ‘post’ is also a noun: when you want to create a blog post, you go inside your admin and ‘add a new post’.

So a person could say: “Where is the post?” (using the word as a noun)

or a person could say: “Did you post a comment?” (using the word as a verb)

So go ahead, and post a comment below and let me know if this explanation was clear to you.
