   Hi - I'm trying to figure out if/why I should use pages. I run a real estate business and am migrating to wordpress. It seems like catagories and tags are all I really need in setting up my site. They seem to give me all the seo juice I need and they seem to allow me to index the site the way I need for user functionality, indexing, and menus. Am I off base? Is there any reason I should be using pages? I do have one set up but it seems t be a hinderance more than a help.

   Any input would be great.

   Thanks,

   Craig

   Pages have no taxonomies, no publish date and usually no comments.

   Pages are for "static" and editable information. You do not edit posts. If the information is aoutdated you write a new post on the subject. With pages you update them.

   Pages are god for contact information, "about" info and such. Pages have a menu selction that shows one page. Posts go into a category and a menu selection shows the last post in the category, like a section of your site.

   A page must always be kept updated, as the are date-less. Avoid whenever possible.

   Use pages when the information should always be available from the menu, regardless how old the information might be, as long as it's still correct.
