Im creating a cooking blog and am not sure if I should be making ‘site pages’ or just ‘blog posts’ ?

Is having a site page for each blog post more beneficial for SEO or do blogs automatically create it’s own site page? Sorry if dumb question I’m only new to web design.

Pages are for “timeless” content. Posts are for the content of your blog. Pages are things like “about”, “contact”, etc.

In my opinion, if you will have lots of posts (like one or more posts everyday), then a ‘blog posts’ will be more appealing to your visitors. But if you have fewer blog posts and you have more resources and recommendations to share as pages, then ‘site pages’ is more suitable. Just my thoughts. Hope this helps.

Google won’t know if something is a Page or Post. Say if you visited a website built in Drupal, you, as a user wouldn’t know the type of thing in Drupal that created it. That’s way beyond the care of the search engine or user (same thing really).
