Pages for Your Blog

What Are Pages User for?

Blogs only have one running posts page that automatically updates when new posts are made. Pages sit outside posts and their structure and are meant to be used for static content. They lack timestamps and any additions you make to them must be done manually. You cannot assign categories to pages and they are not search-able via your web-based search form.

1. An About Page can provide a variety of information and links to other pages to assist the readers. They can be used to let your readers know:

  • about the blogger;
  • about the nature of the blog;
  • about how readers can subscribe to the blog.

2. A Comment Page can be useful too.

  • It can advise readers of your policy (moderated or not – email addresses required but not posted, or not required).
  • It can also contain how to instructions for readers regarding formatting comments.

3. A Disclaimer Page may be worth considering and a Contact Page is a must, if you want people to contact you.
