Thank you for replying Lorelle. I have converted my “Pages” over to “Posts”, (about 300 of them between 2 sites…). The more I read on the topic, the more I figured I better get started. BTW: I’m sure glad you didn’t say I should leave them as “Pages”;-)

Convert your Pages to posts as soon as possible and categorize things by categories. You are only going to have more problems in the future, as you presume. Good luck with your project.

Hi Lorelle,

I know this article (Post) of your is a bit old, but it is a “Timeless” topic:-)

I just moved over from building static Html/Css websites last year. I have made this a “Page”, not a “Category”. On this Page, I have links to other “Pages” I have made and they are in alphabetical order, with image links as you can see.

I tried to think ahead when I was getting started to overcome some of the issues you mentioned in your article such as: I have my Pages included in my site RSS Feed, I use a Page Tagger plugin, my Pages come up in my wordpress search results on the site, the Pages also show up in the Related Posts plugin I am using.

Before I get a couple of years down the road with thousands of “Pages”, do you see something wrong with the way I did this? Or do you think I should use “Posts” for this particular set up instead?

I thought about creating a Post for each of my Pages for each individual Band, and I guess I could do that and then still have my main Page (above) as an index type of Page. If I did this, I could eliminate a couple of plugins I guess.

BTW: I don’t have each individual Band page as a sub-page, they are all separate Pages currently.

Be easy on me please……

I think my article summed it up. Pages are for PERMANENT REFERENCE material – not articles. You can reference from anywhere to an article, so use the categories as your table of contents and use the Pages for resume, reference, and lists of information, including blog post articles as references.
