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/
