Should I use pages or posts?
There are 2 different types of basic content in WordPress- pages and posts. Both can be used on the same site, but are optimized for different types of content. Before you write your content, you should decide which format would make more sense to use.
Creating a new page / post
There are two places you can find the link to add a new page or post to your site.
From the dashboard
Page: Look for “Pages” in your dashboard menu (left column). Hover over it, and select “Add New” from the submenu.
Post: Look for “Posts” in your dashboard menu (left column). Hover over it, and select “Add New” from the submenu.
From the toolbar
Find the grey toolbar at the top of your site (this will appear on both the dashboard and the front end of your site) and hover over the “New” option. Select “Page” or “Post” from the submenu.
The page / post editor
After you select one of the options above, you’ll be brought to the page/post edit interface, as shown below.
1. Title
This will appear as a large header at the top of your page/post, and in the URL, so you’ll want it to keep it short.
2. Content
Click inside the box and start typing to enter content for your page/post. Many formatting options are available, documented at using the visual editor
3. Save
Click the blue “Publish” button to save your page/post. After saving the first time, the blue button will say “Update” instead of “Publish”. Make sure to save your work as you go. Keeping works-in-progress hidden
