Posts are content entries listed in reverse chronological order on your blog\u2019s home page. Due to their reverse chronological order, your posts are meant to be timely. Older posts are archived based on month and year. As the post gets older, the deeper the user has to dig to find it. You have the option to organize your posts based on <a title=\"Categories vs. Tags in WordPress\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wpbeginner.com\/beginners-guide\/categories-vs-tags-seo-best-practices-which-one-is-better\/\">categories and tags<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Because WordPress posts are published with time and date in mind, they are syndicated through the RSS feeds. This allows your readers to be notified of the most recent post update via RSS feeds. Bloggers can use the RSS feeds to deliver email broadcasts through services like <a class=\"thirstylink\" title=\"Aweber\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wpbeginner.com\/refer\/aweber\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Aweber<\/a> or <a class=\"thirstylink\" title=\"MailChimp\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wpbeginner.com\/refer\/mailchimp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">MailChimp<\/a>.
