When you look at your WordPress dashboard, you must be wondering what is the difference between a post and a page.

Post:

Posts are date-driven content where it is always added to the top part of the blog. When another post is published, the earlier post will move down below the new post. Secondly, post, unlike pages are shown in the Archives, Category links and Recent Posts. Thirdly, posts (not pages) are included in syndication feeds whereby a subscriber to your post can read your latest posts.

Pages:

Pages are are not time-driven and they do not appear in blog categories, archives or recent entries. They are on its own, just like a normal web page on a website. However, a page can be linked to a post and vice versa. A good example would be the “About” page. Pages are normally accessed via menu links or sidebar links.
