etsgreI have a question about using pages VS posts to create my W based site. This is currently what I do. For example:
Category 1 = X Strategy Guide, so the URL for this category is http://www.mysite.com/category/x-strategy-guide/
I also created a page that is called X Strategy Guide with URL:
http://www.mysite.com/x-strategy-guide
As a result, when I make a post in Category 1, and let’s say this post is called “Part 1”. The URL for this post will be: http://www.mysite.com/x-strategy-guide/part-1
And on the page http://www.mysite.com/x-strategy-guide, there are also links to “Part 1”, so it looks like a normal website with nice navigation even though it’s actually a mix of pages and posts
Now my question is: is this a good practice or not? Technically I can just create sub-page under http://www.mysite.com/x-strategy-guide and call this page part 1, and I will just get a page with the same URL http://www.mysite.com/x-strategy-guide/part-1. The reason I choose to use the strange method I am using now is because there will be 50-80 subpages, and they look ugly on the site because the default theme will show them all like this:
Page
X Strategy Guide:
- Part 1
- Part 2
- Part 3
- Part 4
The other reason is by using posts instead of pages, there will be links automatically link to the next and previous posts under this default template, so I don’t need to add them manually. As a result, it the user is on http://www.mysite.com/x-strategy-guide/part-4, they will see links that go to part 3 and part 5.
Please let me know what you think. Thanks!
