Pages vs. Posts

I found the problem at last Petal! You need to post your new content as "posts" not  "pages." We have enough pages for now, and those are more for indexing along with the bios, and giving instructions about the site. When we post new articles as "posts" (on the dashboard, click the icon that looks like a thumbtack.) we get a "related articles" section, and a place to put tags. On my editor, I even see a place to select "public domain" photos to place in my articles.

So, from now on, we just use "posts" unless the content is specifically for a new "page" for our site, like the up-coming "How to Speak Bangari: Glossary of Terms" Try it, it's a breeze...The WordPress robot even picks the tags from out of your article, automatically.

When you select "related articles" that's great for business. Those bloggers get a "pingback" and then usually come see who pasted their article into their post. We get commenters, followers, team members, clients, i.e; traffic and back-links from it. Be courteous and respond to comments, and go to their site and offer up some contextual word count.

Not to change the subject, but, do any of you look at the stats at Bangari? Can you access that feature? Are traffic numbers are climbing, and a min of 60 per day seems to be the new average.
