Posts

I'm using WordPress for my site.  You can tell by looking at it that the layout is exactly the same on every page (except the forum which is another software).  The banner, navigation links, sidebar & footer don't change.  The only thing that changes is the text from page to page.

Like I said earlier, WordPress is like a CMS because you can create pages.  Yet it's like a blog because it also has a posts page.  You can have one or more pages but there's only one posts page & all your posts go there (mine's called "news").

You add posts to your CMS/blog by clicking on the category posts.  Clicking on the arrow towards the right should lower this drop down menu where you'll see posts, add new, categories & post tags.  I have one category called news.  But you can have as many as you like. 

After you've added some categories you click on add new. Below you see you have a text editor to type with & you can also see a list of categories to add this post to:

You can add tags, which are somewhat like keywords, here.
 

 You can decide if people can comment or trackback or not.

 
And another thing people should pay attention to is this:

Some of these themes (like the one I'm using) have a featured image slideshow or just a featured image.  To add the featured image click on the link "set featured image".  You can upload an image or link to one already uploaded.  I must use images that are 610x320 for my slideshow.

When you're done you can preview it, save it as a draft, change it's status from draft to pending review, change it's visability (public, password protected or private), publish immediately or publish at a later date.

If you click on the link "posts" (first image above), you'll see a list of the posts you've added.  You can edit or delete them from here.  Or, while you're editing a post if you decide to delete it you can see "move to trash" in the image directly above.

Although there is a "post tags" link (first image above), I only use it to delete tags.  I just deleted a post to see the tags remained behind.  You can tell if tags are connected to a post or not.  If not I delete them.  Otherwise I don't know why you'd have tags not connected to anything.  So I go to the post to add tags to it - either as I'm starting it or I go back & edit it.
