The AI Prompts:
can you make a list of the differences between a post and a page on a website/blog
My take aways
The big differences I took away from these lists are that posts are for constant updates, time sensitive content, can appear in blogs where people can subscribe for updates, and allows comments + shares. Whereas pages are for infrequent updates, permanent information, doesn’t appear in blog feeds, and pages are normally part of the main menu. While both can be customized with themes they each serve their own unique purpose.Â
