The Difference between a ‘Post’ vs. a ‘Page’

By Christina Hills

One key element of a WordPress website is the concept of a ‘post’. If you understand the difference between a ‘post’ and a ‘page’ with WordPress, then you can strategically decide how you want to setup YOUR website.

We are all familiar with web pages, those are pages that you go to on the internet. For example http://www.websitecreationworkshop.com/blog/next-workshop/ is a page on the internet that has the schedule for the upcoming workshop, and this page you are reading now is a poat.

Well WordPress has a thing called a ‘post’. Most people think of posts as the ‘blog’ part of your WordPress website. ‘Post’ are the ‘blog’ part of your website. That’s where you put out your daily/weekly/monthly posts of what you are doing, your news, tips, or anything else you want to dialog with your readers about. I like to think of a ‘post’ as a newsletter.

When you make a ‘post’ on your WordPress website, that information goes out to anyone who has subscribed to you. They can be subscribed via email, (as you can do by entering your info in the box on the right), or they can be subscribed via RSS (really simple syndication).

To learn more about RSS and Blog posts, just come to my next training call/preview for the Website Creation Workshop.
