I do not know if this is the best option for this purpose or should I create a Page or a Product page? Also I would like to know how to make individual my post and not connected with other posts I am making all the time. Thanks a lot

I think the distinction, while sound in theory, can be quite inconvenient in practice. I’m using a theme right now that conforms to “WordPress orthodoxy” in that regard but which, in practice, has meant some inconvenience for me as a lay user!

JD – I totally agre. It does depend upon use. Rules can only be broken once they're known.

Really good post, John.

I'd like to add a couple of thoughts:

– It depends on what your organization is trying to accomplish with your blog. Here at Socialbrite, our Posts & Pages are equally essential elements of our blog. We use Pages for many of our essential pages, like the Sharing Center, our Videos landing page, our Cause organizations page, Our directories of free photos, videos and music, and much more.

It's my opinion that in the world of posts, too much flies by and then disappears into the archive ether. That's why we try to focus on building resources (on pages) that will be relevant months and years from now.

– For the same reason, we don't deactivate comments on Pages, because we welcome our readers' contributions to these learning materials and hope they'll grow richer over time.

So, as I said, it all depends on what you're trying to achieve.
