In WordPress, you can put content on your site as either a “post” or a “page”. When you are writing a blog entry, you are writing a post. Posts, in a default setup, appear in reverse chronological order on your blog’s home page.

Pages in WordPress are for non-chronological content. Pages live outside of the normal blog chronology, and are often used to present timeless information about yourself or your site. You can use Pages to organize and manage the structure of your website content.

• Pages are for content that isn’t specifically time-dependent, or which isn’t “blog content”.
• Pages can be organized into pages and subpages.
• Pages can use different page templates, including template files, Template Tags and other PHP code.
• More sophisticated themes may provide a wider range of adjustments or display options for individual pages.
• It’s quite possible to make a website using WordPress which only contains pages.

• Pages are not posts, so they don’t appear in the time-structured views within a blog section of a website.
• Pages by default do not allow taxonomy (categories, tags and any custom taxonomies) associations. You can enhance it via plugins.
• The organizational structure for Pages comes from hierarchical interrelationship, not from a system of categorization. (e.g. Tags or Categories.)
• Pages are not files. They are stored in your database, just like posts.
• Although you can put Template Tags and PHP code into a Page Template file, you cannot put these into the Page or Post content without using a WordPress Plugin. But be careful: integrating PHP code directly into page or post content may introduce a security problem, or an unexpected error on your website.
• Pages are not included in your site’s “feeds”. (e.g. RSS or Atom.)
• Pages and Posts can be interpreted differently by site visitors and by search engines. Commonly, search engines place more relevance to time-dependent site content – posts – because a newer post on a topic may be more relevant than a static page.
• A specific page (or a specific post) can be set as a static front page. Websites which are set up in this way usually have a secondary page defined on which the latest blog posts are displayed.
