Okay, so I'm a little hung up on the best way to do this. I've just started the second course and am working on the first content to populate the pages Kyle suggests you make.

Presently your blog roll is empty but as soon as you write a post it will be there. You ask about categories, those are just groups of posts and they appear on the sidebar, but you may add them into the main menu as well. Focus on posts because you may put them anywhere, in the main menu as sub-menu under some 'page', or as a category page, and they will still also be in your blog roll. So visitors have many possibilities to see them.
But things will be more clear as you go through lessons. Many technical details you will find in my site 'just my thinking'. Jovo.

Thanks! For now I think I'm going to stick to posts and categorizing them. Tangentially related question: Is that something I should rethink? I have the faintest notion that more pages is better for rankings, can't remember if I read that somewhere.

I do not think that more pages will add to better ranking. Ranking is only the matter of SEO and it applies to separate posts and pages. Speaking about site rank is redundant,
I myself started only with pages in my site about mountains, but this was not the best idea.

Great! Thanks! Just wanted a little peace of mind that I wasn't obviously screwing up before continuing on.
