question about catagories, pages, and tags

  • Hi – I’m trying to figure out if/why I should use pages. I run a real estate business and am migrating to wordpress. It seems like catagories and tags are all I really need in setting up my site. They seem to give me all the seo juice I need and they seem to allow me to index the site the way I need for user functionality, indexing, and menus. Am I off base? Is there any reason I should be using pages? I do have one set up but it seems t be a hinderance more than a help.

    Any input would be great.

    Thanks,

    Craig

  • Pages have no taxonomies, no publish date and usually no comments.

    Pages are for “static” and editable information. You do not edit posts. If the information is aoutdated you write a new post on the subject. With pages you update them.

    Pages are god for contact information, “about” info and such. Pages have a menu selction that shows one page. Posts go into a category and a menu selection shows the last post in the category, like a section of your site.

    A page must always be kept updated, as the are date-less. Avoid whenever possible.

    Use pages when the information should always be available from the menu, regardless how old the information might be, as long as it’s still correct.
