 * When i started using wordpress awhile back i didn’t really know what i was doing.
   I made all my entries “posts” instead of “pages”, but they really should be pages,
   i’m changing my site around to do that, but i would really like to keep my old
   posts, is there any way to convert the “posts” into “pages”?

 * Well, if you “convert” them, they won’t be posts anymore. Just copy and paste
   into a Page the posts that you meant to be Pages. And leave the others alone?
   Without seeing your site, I’m not following exactly.

 * The site is [http://living-abomination.stufftoread.com](http://living-abomination.stufftoread.com)–
   basically what I did was write all my articles and put them up as “posts”, but
   they’re not really chronological like posts are. so what i want to do is take
   those “posts” and make them “articles”. The only reason I want to convert them
   is to save the permissions and the viewed count. I may be able to do it by screwing
   with the SQL database. I’m hesitant to do that though as i seem to have a habit
   of breaking SQL databases.

 * you could try alex kings articles plugin. Set the articles page as your home 
   page and then the posts can stay as they are with all information in tact.
 * you can see how the page would look here [http://alexking.org/articles](http://alexking.org/articles)
 * and download the plugin here
