external blogroll manager.

• Pages are for content that is less time-dependent than Posts.

• Pages can be organized into pages and SubPages.

Pages are for content such as "About Me," "Contact Me," etc. Pages live outside of the normal blog chronology, and are often used to present information about yourself or your site that is somehow timeless -- information that is always applicable. You can use Pages to organize and manage any amount of content.

Pages

Comments are a feature of blogs which allow readers to respond to Posts.

Typically readers simply provide their own thoughts regarding the content of the post, but users may also provide links to other resources, generate discussion, or simply compliment the author for a well-written post.
