WordPress Fundamentals

WordPress enables website owners to update page content and operate a blog page through a friendly interface (avoiding the need to learn web design skills).

Before jumping in, it’s really important to understand the difference between pages and posts.

Your website will consist of any number of web pages containing updatable content. One of the pages is designated as the blog page. This can sometimes be the home page.

The blog page (also often referred to as the News page) automatically lists individual stories (posts) added by the site owner.

Before updating your website, be clear in your mind about the task you wish to perform. Are you updating page content or adding a blog post?
