Daneda, just so you know, I was confused my pages and posts as well. I'm not confused any more, it actually makes sense. I couldn't have explained it as well a Nathaniell or Viola, but you have an answer.

My topics in my header are now Pages. My articles are now Posts that go into Categories in my sidebar. I added three posts today, my most productive day to date. One month ago I didn't know a page from a post.

Don't ever be afraid to ask for help. There's literally folks here chomping at the bit wanting to help. Make them happy. ;^)

Here is a training I made on this topic: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/the-differences-between-posts-pages

Pages are like the basic structure of your site, and posts are where you will publish articles on a regular basis.

Categories are just a way to organize your posts. They aren't "vital" but can be used for a few different things like like allowing people to view all posts under one category: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/creating-a-category-page

Hope this helps!

Hi Deneda. Pages are what you would see in your website's menu bar. Like your About Me page, privacy policy page, etc. When you click on it, it will take you to a different page. A post is each individual article that you write. Gonna use my site as an example here: http://stylishwanderers.com My latest post was "best walking sandals for women". When you publish a new post, it will go on your home page. You can place your posts into categories. For example, I can put my latest post in the "fashion" category. This way, people can find the page easily. In my case, I also combined my pages and my categories so they are the same thing. Hope this helps!
