Posts are typically used for dynamic content such as blog articles, news updates, or any content that is time-sensitive or frequently updated. They are displayed in reverse chronological order, meaning the newest posts appear first.
Pages, on the other hand, are used for static content that doesn’t change often. This could be information about your company, contact details, or terms of service.
