   I have a dilemma relating to where and when to use pages and posts.

   I have no problem coding and using CSS, I just don't have a dynamic mind which doesn't help! Unfortunately I only have drafts on my local server.

   I'm putting together a site for a record label and below is an example of how I have part of the site structured (pages & posts) but I keep getting caught out on the 'Band 1' or 'Release 1' pages where the template used is the single.php file whereas I'd prefer to use a common template for that category.

   My major question - is this the best way to set the site up if I want to apply page templates and display posts in the same pages? i.e. page > page > post

   If this isn't clear, anyone have any suggestions for how they would set this up?

   STRUCTURE

   Home (index.php)

   News (page - category 'news' - displays latest 10 news posts then paginates)

   Bands (template page - category 'bands' - displays bands (these are posts) as a CSS styled list using custom field images)

   1. Band 1 (post - parent category 'bands' - intend to display Band 1's latest news, image, social media links etc)
   2. Band 2 ...
   3. Band 25 ...

   Releases (template page - category 'releases')

   1. Release 1 (post - parent category 'releases' - intend to display image, track listing, pressing details etc)
   2. Release 2 ...
   3. Release 3 ...

   Any feedback or advice will be MUCH appreciated!
