You normally use pages for information that you want to share with your readers but don’t expect to update frequently.
Pages appear in the Pages widget and in navigation tabs across the top of some themes.
Examples of pages commonly used by educators include:
- An About page – for readers to find out more about you and your blog. Readers often use it to decide whether to bother subscribing to a blog.
- Blogging Rule and Guidelines – used on Class blogs to explain how-to’s, rules, guidelines for students and their families
- Contact page – provides your contact details
- Info For First Time Visitors! – for new readers to understand how to subscribe to the blog and leave comments

Brief Overview of Using Your Page Screen
Your Page screen works very similar to your Post screen except that:
- You don’t assign categories or tags to pages
- You can arrange your pages in hierarchies, using sub-pages, to nest pages under other pages
Writing a page is similar to writing a post.
Use these instructions for both posts and pages.
