Blog Posts
Blogging is nothing more than creating content and organizing it by date, category, etc. Your blog is just the page of your website where each item of content you've published appears in-order by date, category, etc.
Each item on a blog is called a post, and all you need to do to start blogging is to create several posts - they'll automatically be added on your blog page by the WordPress system. Typically, a post comprises text and photos, but you can put just about anything in a post.
Your main blog posts page can be your site's front page, or its own separate page. Choose your desired option in the Layouts area of ProPhoto.
By default, multiple post pages, like your main blog page or any archive pages, will show full posts. If you prefer your posts to show as excerpts (including a grid), choose that option in the WordPress Content Module.
Web Pages
WordPress pages are used for static content that appears separate from blog posts, when you want to create a full website. Pages can be used to create a splash or landing page, pricing sheets, informational sections, portfolio areas or a place to insert a form - really, anything you want that's separate from your blog.
Differences between Pages and Posts
WordPress pages are intended for content on your site which you do not want to appear in the blog organized by a date. Instead, pages are used for standalone content that you want accessed from a link, menu, etc. As a result, pages do not have some of the extra functionality that Posts use for organization, such as:
- No Date/Time
- No Categories
- No Tags
- No Excerpt (cannot show in an Excerpt View)
Some features common between Posts and Pages are:
- Both have a Title and URL address 'slug'
- Both can be Password Protected
- Both can have visitor Comments enabled/disabled on an individual basis
- A Featured Image can be selected
