Posts vs Pages

A post is used for content that is published frequently, such as blog posts and news articles. A page meant for static content that is updated infrequently; examples include a Homepage, an About page, a contact page, and so on.

Posts:

  • are timely (in reverse chronological order by default)
  • are organized by tags and categories
  • have an author and a date

Pages:

  • are timeless
  • are organized hierarchically (see image below)
  • don’t have an author or date
