POSTS & PAGES

• Posts are what make your blog a blog

— they’re servings of content that are

listed in reverse chronological order on

your blog’s front page.

• Posts are always associated with a

date, which is included in the URL.

• Pages are static. They are a good way

to publish information that doesn't

change much, like an About page.

THEMES

• Themes allow users to change the look and

functionality of a WordPress website.

• WordPress users may install and switch between

themes. Themes may be installed using the WordPress

"Appearance" administration tool or theme folders may

be uploaded via FTP.

• The PHP, HTML & CSS code found in themes can be

added or edited for providing advanced features.

Thousands of WordPress themes exist, some free, and

some premium (paid for) templates.

• WordPress users may also create and develop their own

custom themes if they have the knowledge and skill to

do so.

• You can look for free themes at

http://wordpress.org/themes/

PLUGINS

• Think of plugins like extra options to your car or upgrades to your computer.

• Plugins help enhance your WordPress blog or website features. With plugins you can do almost anything you can imagine of.

• WordPress has a database of over 30,254 plugins, each of which offers custom functions and features enabling users to tailor their sites to their specific needs.

• Again mostly they are for free. You can find plugins at http://wordpress.org/plugins/
