Content is the lifeblood of a website, regardless of author or topic. Populate your site with a variety of content types to engage reader interest and to ensure return visits. WordPress offers several types of content that can be published on your Web site using the different, built-in features.
| Menu | Description |
|---|---|
| Posts | Articles that get written and published to your blog — posts are included as part of your archived blog. |
| Pages | Static, individual pages do not get published and archived as part of the blog on your site; rather are used as stand-alone pages to publish items like an "About Me" page. |
| Categories | File your blog posts into different topics. |
| Tags | Define micro-categories for your blog posts by using Tags to define extended key words to help your readers locate posts on your site relevant to the topic they want to read about |
| Links | Create a directory of recommended links by using the link management system in WordPress — create and categorize links in an organized manner. |
| Images and Galleries | Upload photos or images and create photo galleries, or a portfolio of images. |
| Media files | Upload audio files for podcasting, or video files for video blogging. Even upload files like PDFs or MS Word documents to provide downloadable content, like e-books or manuals. |
| Custom Post Types | Create different methods of posting niche content types on your site, like a photo gallery, video gallery or a repository of reviews for things like movies, books and music (just to name a few of many examples) |
| Custom Post Formats | Create customized display of different post formats like photos, quotes, posts, links and videos (to name a few) |
| Custom Fields | Use custom fields to attach different post meta data to individual posts and pages, like your current mood, what you're currently listening to or your current local weather (to name a few) |
