Pages in WordPress
In WordPress, you can write posts or pages. A regular blog entry is a post and posts normally appear in reverse chronological order on your homepage. Pages are for content such as ‘about’, ‘contact’, disclosure’, ‘legal information’, ‘reprint permissions’, ‘company information’, ‘privacy policy’, etc. Pages live outside of the blog chronology and are often used to present timeless information that is always applicable.
