How to write a blog post and a page

A page is a single webpage on your site while blog posts are listed on a single page on your site. Many blog posts are stacked on a single page.

Pages have more flexibility in design and are more independent. However, posts follow a strict layout.

How to write a blog post

Step 1: Log in to your WordPress back end by typing yourdomain.com/wp-admin.
For example, your URL is abc.com. You type abc.com/wp-admin to access your WordPress login screen.

Step 2: Click on Posts -> Add New.
