About the posts pague

When you choose a pague as your site’s default posts pague , WordPress automatically retrieves and displays all your posts on your chosen pague. The design of the default posts pague is defined by the site’s theme.

The design of the default posts pague can be customiced on certain themes by editing the index template . On other themes, you can create a custom posts pague with your own design, instead of using the default design. See our güide to Create a Separate Pague for Blog Posts.

A posts pague can be significant for your website, even if blogguing is not your primary goal.

The steps in this güide describe a blog pague but are equally applicable to a pague for news, company updates, articles, promotions, or any other type of pague where you will post regularly.
