User Guide

If you’re using the above theme, click on “About” and you’ll be shown a page on

your website. So what’s the difference between and post and a page?

What’s a page?

A page is akin to a normal web page on a website.

It would normally show static (ie. doesn’t change) content. If you are building a

website (rather than a “blog”) then your website is probably going to be made up

of a number of pages.

What’s a post?

WordPress was created as software to run a blogging website. If you don’t know

what that is, it’s likely you don’t need to.

If you do know what that is, then you may well be setting up a blog website - and

WordPress is simply brilliant at that!

So what’s a blog first? A blog - short for “web-log” is similar to a diary on a

website. You add entries to your diary (“blog”). Those entries are called posts.

Hang on, what about a comment?

Any page, or post, if setup to allow them, can accept comments.
