I dont know how to send different posts to different pages in my website.

I’m not sure what you mean, can you explain more?

I like the explanation you presented about page driven WP vs post driven WP. It's sometimes difficult to explain the difference to a non-techie and I think you nailed it with this: <blockquote> The only basic difference between pages in static sites and posts in a blog is that posts follow a chronological sequence, while pages just sit there and the sequence in which they were written is not quite important.</blockquote> the "is not quite important" in relation to the chronological sequence really ties the explanation together. Thanks again! BTW, your theme is pretty sweet. Great post! I like the explanation you presented about page driven WP vs post driven WP.

the “is not quite important” in relation to the chronological sequence really ties the explanation together.

Thanks again! BTW, your theme is pretty sweet.

After reading this enlightening post, I realized why I want subcats: I have two categories that have subcategories. Fiction and Poetry. In order to keep my post pages uncluttered, I don't want every single poem showing up on the sidebar. Right now, it seems to be all or nothing. Cheers, Mitch Thanks, Gui!

Will they be links? Or what is the proper php call to get them to show up as such? </blockquote> Ah, that is a great question! Keep in mind that what I explain on this post is how to categorize pages and posts within wordpress. You are pretty much free to present them as you wish when you create a theme or choose one that performs this adequately. Inside a theme, you could, for instance, create a layout called, say, "section-pages" which, in addition to the content, they also display a list of all subpages. By selecting this template for your section pages, the list of subpages would be automatically generated. The Kubrik theme (WP default) displays subpages adequately in the sidebar. Is up to the imagination of whoever creates or tweaks a theme. @Sue –

I too wondered why, and in fact even found a plugin (rather a useless one, btw), that claimed to make pages have categories. I even forget now why I wanted it. Now, the next question: How will these child pages of say, your recipes display on the parent page? Will they be links? Or what is the proper php call to get them to show up as such? I'm anxiously awaiting your next installment... Thank you for this post, Guilherme.
