So by now you should have a basic skeleton of a website created, and are thinking about adding content to your site.
Wordpress by default comes with two main ways of displaying your beautifully crafted works: Posts and Pages.
I am going to explain exactly what these are, their differences and how best to use them on your site.

Hi Apina and thank you for your helpful tips.
Currenty, what I am doing now ,is exactly the opposite of what you (and the other Wordpress veterans :) are advising: I use one of my static pages as a place for my articles. I know, this is not the right thing and I am trying to think out a better way of posting my content. Honestly , I don't like the blog structure, where posts don't belong anywhere. I prefer to have 2 or 3 pages where I can post articles of 2 different categories, so that people can easily find what they are looking for.
To get a better clue of what I am trying to explain: My website is about travelling to a country. I would like to have one page about the resorts and another page about the other places to visit in that country.
My idea is to post part of each article on the corresponing page and to put a link which will direct the people to the whole article (something like the"read more" link). But I don't know how to do that...
I would love to hear your opinion.
Thanks!

Thank-you very much Dean. I was uncertain about when to use pages and posts. Cheers.
