Your website or blog probably runs on WordPress software. Here’s explanation of the difference between a page and a post.
Be sure to review my last infographic How WordPress Works.

Page
Contains static content that is not time-sensitive and will not change frequently like the Services and About pages.
An individual page can be the homepage.
Pages can be organized in a hierarchy. Pages (parent pages) and subpages (child pages) make it easier for visitors to navigate your site.
Post
Contains timely content—educational articles, opinion pieces, news, or entertaining articles that collectively make up a blog.
An individual post cannot be the homepage.
Posts can be labeled and organized by categories and tags (keywords).
Post Example:
Post: Should I Use the Cloud for My Business?
Category: Use the Web
Tags: applications/services/ tools, How To, privacy/security
Posts appear in reverse chronological order on the main blog page and in the blog archives.
Content
| Page | Post | |
| Goal | Marketing | Attracting attention |
| Content | Tells a particular story about the business or gets a message out | Getting to know the business, education, entertainment, etc. |
