In WordPress, you&#8217;re able to add different types of content to your site as either a post or a page, depending on what goal you have in mind. <br><br><strong>Posts<\/strong> are periodical pieces of content such as blog posts, news articles, reviews, opinion pieces, etc. Posts typically have an author name, date of publication and have the option to allow for comments\/discussion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pages <\/strong>are for static content on your site which doesn&#8217;t necessarily change very often. Examples of pages include your home page, about page or contact page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following video explains how to add posts and pages to your WordPress site. You can also read through the post for a written version of this tutorial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gi620FrSHrw\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adding Posts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In your WordPress dashboard (which you can always access via the &#8220;My Applications&#8221; section in your cPanel account at Coventry.Domains, you&#8217;ll see several options on the left-hand menu including &#8220;Posts&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To add a new post, hover of &#8220;Posts&#8221; and click <strong>Add New<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screenshot-2019-08-27-at-16.19.01-1024x887.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-239\" width=\"590\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screenshot-2019-08-27-at-16.19.01-1024x887.png 1024w, https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screenshot-2019-08-27-at-16.19.01-300x260.png 300w, https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screenshot-2019-08-27-at-16.19.01-768x665.png 768w, https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screenshot-2019-08-27-at-16.19.01.png 1104w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll now be taken to the post\/page editor (known as the Gutenberg editor), where you can write your posts and add images, videos, audio and more.
