# Page or Posts?

 * Hello,
 * I have not created a page yet and my posts appear as the first ‘page’ as their
   own pages. I have checked “front page displays posts” under Settings > Reading.
 * Is this ok to do (to have a blog with no “pages” but instead just show posts)?
 * I will be launching the blog on a subdomain so I’m pretty sure blog.mysite.com
   will look weird as blog.mysite.com/blog…
 * Can anyone offer some advice on whether I need to create a page and display my
   posts there instead of them just displaying freehand..

 * There’s no need to use pages if you haven’t any use for them. They’re most often
   used for static content (like an about page), in contrast to the more common 
   blog-style content. It’s very common in WP to display your most recent posts 
   as your site’s ‘home page’.
 * These pages may help clarify the differences for you:
