They are key differences between pages and posts that are important to understand when working with them.
Properties of pages are:
- Blog pages are displayed independently of post history and are more static i.e. remain the same from day to day since they are rarely updated
- You normally use pages for information that you want to share with your readers but don’t expect to update frequently. e.g. Edublogs Info! on The Edublogger is a page
- Pages don’t have time stamps i.e. don’t show the date they were posted
- Blog pages can appear anywhere on your blog depending on your blog theme
- You can change the order pages appear. Pages are normally displayed in alphabetical order but their order can be changed using Page Order
- You can’t assign tags and categories to pages
- Pages don’t appear in RSS feeds so readers need to visit your site to view the latest updates to pages
- You can’t embed posts into a page
- You can create sub-pages which you assign to a parent page to build a more complex site
