How to Create a New Post

Think of posts as daily news articles. Write hints and tips, write ‘how to’ articles, write letter home 
Some quick differences between posts and pages from WordPress.com
- Posts are listed in reverse chronological order on the blog home page or on the posts page, depending on how you have set up your website.
- Posts can be found in the Archives, Categories, Recent Posts, and other widgets. Posts are also displayed in the RSS feed of the blog.
- 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.
- There is no limit on the number of posts or pages you can have.
- It’s not possible to “post” to a page. Pages are static entities that only can be edited.
