What is the difference between a page and a post?   A page stays where you put it and has a heading in your theme.  The creation of a page is very similar to creating a post.  Images can be added, media can be added, advertising can be used, etc.  All of the features you have for a post, you have for a page.  Pages can be used to create a complete website and can even be nested, with sub pages.

Pages do not appear in your chronological display of posts.  The page title you create will be added to a tab at the top .  The first page you will want to create is your “About” page.  Here you can describe what your blog is about, a little about yourself if desired.  You can change the name to something else.  The headline for a page must be short.  It will appear either in the sidebar or at the top depending on your theme.  You can create an entire website by using pages.  You can also have a custom home page, rather than the display of posts in your blog.  your blog posts can appear on another page altogether.  The option to use a static page as your home page is found in the dashboard under “settings” then “reading.”   Choose which page you want as your static home page from the drop down box, save your change, and you are done!

Its all about flexibility!  That’s what Word Press is all about.  You can have it your way.
