A log is something in which events are recorded chronologically. The original blogs had only "posts", and they were (and still are) recorded chronologically. You write posts day by day, or week by week etc, and they stay in that order, with the newest at the top. They also get archived by month. And they can be in categories. Later, blogging software added "pages", which are outside the blog chronology. They are timeless and independent. They are more like a plain old-fashioned "static website". You can put them where you like, and you can give them subpages. The classic example of a page is "About this Site". Or you could have pages such as "About Me" or "Teaching Tips". These are things outside the normal chronology. You can have links to your pages direct from you main page or sidebar. On the other hand, a post you wrote a year ago will only show up if someone searches for it, or looks in the appropriate monthly archive or category listing. You cannot change one into the other. You would need to create a new page/post and delete the old post/page. If you think of the real meaning of blog (weB LOG = journal/diary etc on web) it may help.

Can you change a post in to a page and vice-versa? what’s the real difference between a page and a post for all practical purposes? Can you change a post in to a page and vice-versa?
