There are very key differences between posts and pages in your WordPress blog.
Posts
Posts are listed in reverse chronological order on the blog home page or on the posts page if you have set one in Settings > Reading. If you have created any sticky posts, those will appear before the other posts. Posts can be found in the Archives, Categories, Recent Posts, and other widgets. Posts are also displayed in the RSS feed of the blog. You can control how many posts are displayed at a time in the Reading Settings. The URL for a post includes the date the post was published like this: http://blogname.com/2008/11/30/post-title/
For search engine optimization purposes, we take out the date feature of your blog post. Not using the date in the url gives your blog posting a strong url name that is keyword sensitive and search engine friendly. The default url name will be the title of your blog posting: so you should put some thought in to the blog post titles you use–are they keywords people are searching for?
Pages
Pages are static and are not listed by date. Pages do not use tags or categories. An ‘About’ page is the classic example. Pages are displayed in the sidebar using the Pages widget, and some themes display pages in tabs at the top of the blog. If you have 50 pages and you use the Pages widget, then all pages will be listed all the time. The URL for a page looks like this: http://blogname.com/page-title/
How many can I have?
There is no limit on the number of posts or pages you can have.
How do I post to a Page?
It’s not possible to “post” to a page; pages are static entities that only can be edited. Consider using posts and categories instead if you are using pages for several different subjects.
