How do you determine whether to publish as a post or as a page? This is a grey area for me, I could do with some assistance here.
I'm with Loes on this one. I like my blogroll to show all my content-rich informational posts that I want to see indexed by Google.
But, those that I don't care about being indexed like About Me, Privacy, etc., I keep as pages.

it all get indexed. I don't think the pages are exempt from indexation unless you Mark as nofollow
You are correct, Ann.
However, I've been told that "posts" - in the blogroll - get indexed more quickly.
It is true that "pages" get indexed, too. But, from what I have seen with my website, the posts get ranked quicker and higher. Of course, that could be wishful thinking on my part!

I take the stand that everything I don't want to appear in my blogroll, I make a page, that concerns the disclosures, pp etc. But also contact pages and about me. I do have disaster pages too, when something horrible has happened, I turn up a Black page on my home page, to honor the lost for a few days.
Yeah, I see pretty much everyone is saying the same thing. Pretty much everything except About and Privacy Page is going to be a post.
Pages are generally reserved for about me, affiliate disclosure and privacy page for example.
Every time you write content for your visitors this will be as a post.
That is the simplest terms to explain this have you gone through all of Kyle's training as he explains this as well.

The whole thrust at WA is to have a small number of pages (like privacy policy, affiliate disclaimer etc.) which you put on a menu, but then do everything else as blog posts.
This keeps your website looking fresh, as each new post goes to the top of your front page.
But it also means you can target one keyword per post, increasing your chances of getting ranked on that keyword.
this is what I have been doing, publishing as posts...I only have one page and I got worried that maybe I needed more clarity on the matter.
Thanks for insights
Each time you make a post, that post gets moved down and the latest one stays on top. When you do a page it stays put on the menu at the top of the page...i use a page like I would a feature article, it depends how many categories you have. You might have a resource category with lots of pages as sub menu categories. The posts however will be seen at the right hand side normally, with the last 5 posts will be on the right hand side. Have a look at some websites, and see the structure of their pages and posts to give u an idea how u want to structure your own
