WordPress Posts, Comments, Pages and Categories Explained
I'm not sure if you already use WordPress or if you're simply researching WordPress but you might have seen some of these terms thrown around such as posts, comments, pages, and categories and I want to explain them to you right now.
First of all, the simplest thing to understand on a WordPress blog is what's called a post. When you think of a blog, it's a journal. You see that someone has posted on January 10th and they have something to say. It might be a video, it might be text but there is a list that starts from top to bottom of different journal entries. And usually, the newest one is at the top and this is very basic. It's very simple. If you want to add new stuff to this website, just go Post, Add New, and now you have added a new journal entry anyone can read. Now if there are too many journal entries that go off the page, people can click and view older posts. Perhaps on the sidebar, they can view previous month's content but a post is just a journal entry.
Now when you have this journal entry or post, you can allow others not to edit it but to add their additional comments underneath. And what's cool about WordPress is you can choose to either not allow comments, allow comments or allow comments but moderate them and choose which ones actually get shown to the public. So underneath that every single blog post, someone can click on the actual blog post and type in their name, their email address and their website address and say their additional comments.
For example, if you had a new journal entry or blog post about different kinds of sail boats or if you preferred motor boats to sail boats and someone had a comment saying, "Well, I know that you prefer motor boats to sail boats but I prefer sail boats for this reason and this reason." And then you can respond back to them in an additional comment. They responded as well. Comments are a discussion that happens underneath a post. So that's very basic, posts and comments under a post.
But you can also have pages in the blog. Now let's say that you have this journal and you posted every week or so. But someone wanted to know what was this blog all about. You would have what's called an About page. And usually this is a link at the top and someone could click on this and they get to this page which is not really a weekly update. It's just part of the site. It's part of the site's navigation.
