1. The newest is 1.5.2.
2. Pages are different from posts – see the link.
3. Posts – as it is usual in a blog – are ordered chronologically, with the newest on the top. You can search for other ways of ordering them (there were several requests and solutions in the forum)
4. How do you want to “order” the posts?
You could use Pages and Child-Pages, allowing you to order the Parent-Pages how you like and have each Child-Page show within its parent when selected.
Doing it the above way basicly means that the Parent-Pages act as the categories and the Child-Pages act as Posts
Thank for your replies.
Sorry, I meant organize (arrange, manage), not order.
So to sum up you have the categories to organize the posts. You have parent-pages to organize the pages. You have other kind of categories to organize your links.
I cannot see the sense, but I am glad it is free and so I should not moan about it. I cannot see the reason, why (when?) should I use pages, when should I use posts?
Users may reply on posts _and_ pages. The link to the pages is not really an answer to my question, sorry.
Yours sincerely,
Martin
1. The link to Pages was just to clarify (for yourself) that Pages and posts are not the same.
2. When to use Pages and when to use posts – it depends on the purpose of the blog/website. Initially the Pages feature was introduced in v1.5, after a lot of complaining by users during the earlier versions that they couldn’t create easily a so-called “static” page for inof like About me, Contact etc.
2a. Since v1.5 we have this feature and many people even put together website using exclusively Pages, for a non-journal, non-blog like website.
3. Posts are just the usual entries in a blog; I assume you would use them as everyone else: making entries about the main topic of your blog.
4. Depending on the theme’s design you can comment on Pages or not. My logic says: Pages are not for commenting (e.g. why should I let anybody to comment on my About page?)
It still isn’t clear what your problem is and what is your question.
Thanks a lot! Now I understand and will use it in your recommended way.
Yours sincerely,
Martin
Glad to be of help, Martin. And you don’t really have to use WP in the way I explained above 🙂 That’s just a general idea of how most bloggers use it – but you can also find many, many different ways.
