Creating Posts and Pages

Sites on CSU Thinkspace are primarily comprised of ‘Posts’ and ‘Pages’. The main difference between posts and pages is the following:

Posts:

Are where you’ll publish your main content – for example reflections on your learning, assessment tasks and research notes. They are great to publish a ‘learning journal’ and are displayed in reverse-chronological order with the most recent post at the top of the page.

Pages:

Are normally used for information that you want to share with your readers but don’t expect to update frequently.

Common uses for pages include:

  • About Page: Used to tell readers more about yourself and your blog.
  • Major Assignments or Essays: A great space to publish a formal piece of published writing
  • Contact Page: so users can get in touch with you.
  • Reference Lists or Useful Links: A space to record the texts and documents you have been using regularly.
