Post is a list of articles on your blog website. Which are organized. It is organized based on categories and tags.

• Categories: It means organizing of contents into different parts.
• Tags: On the first look it gives sense to the reader what the blog is about and it is also useful in finding the related content.

Pages are any page of your website. E.g. your website homepage or your contact page etc.

Pages are used for static contents but post contents are not static it can be updated. Posts are meant to be timely. It will be archived as it gets older by months and years.

Post has a built-in commenting feature which allows visitors to comment. It basically encourages conversation. While, in Pages you don’t want anyone to comment on your legal disclaimers pages.
