By default, WordPress comes with two default content types. They are called posts and pages.

Posts are part of a blog and are displayed in a reverse chronological order. Pages are static and not part of a blog.

To add a new blog post, head over to Posts » Add New page.

To create a new page, you need to visit Pages » Add New page.

Both page’s and post’s edit screens look similar with some minor differences.

For detailed instructions, see Lesson 5 for Creating Pages or Lesson 8 for Creating Posts.
