What is the difference between Posts & Pages in WordPress?

Posts are for blog or news content. They are shown newest first, can have categories and tags, appear in the RSS feed and usually allow comments.

Pages are for static content that does not change with time, like About us, Contact or Privacy Policy. They have no categories or tags, are not in the feed, can have a parent page (hierarchy), and can use page templates.

Both are saved in the same wp_posts table, with a different post_type (post or page). See Posts and Pages.
