Posts vs. Pages

- [Instructor] Content is queen. WordPress.com makes it easy to get started writing and publishing your words for the world to see. In your WordPress.com Admin, you'll notice an area for Blog Post and a spot for Site Pages. The difference is subtle, but each option has a specific use. If you're using WordPress as a blog, you'll end up using post for most of your site's content. Posts are meant to be conversational. East post has a built-in Comment feature and social sharing, enabling users to interact with or share your content. Comments are also part of your blog's RSS feed, which means people that subscribe to your blog via the reader see your new posts every time you publish. So that's posts, then there are pages. Even though they're similar to post, in that they can have things like a title, content, a featured image, pages are meant to be more static, or timeless. This is content that won't change much over time. Examples of pages might be an About page or a Contact page. Their publish date really doesn't matter, and they're not intended to be social. For instance, you don't need to leave a comment on a contact page. They're also not sent to your subscribers via RSS. In short, pages make up the basic structure of a website, while posts add supporting content and help drive traffic.
