    Hello. I am using the Executive Pro theme for my blog but I am using posts. When I try to configure the middle section, I am not getting the right configuration for this section. Should I be using pages instead of posts for my entries since in the instructions, in the top and middle sections, they are suggesting to use feature pages in the widget sections? Thanks in advance.

    So then it doesn’t matter if I use posts for my entries then? I uploaded the images to the Media Library but should I set these 300x200 images to individual pages or just draw from the Media Library? I was told to use posts for my blog instead of pages even though I am more comfortable using pages.

    You can use the featured posts widget however its coded for pages so you'll need to modify the CSS rules.

    You might need to test different sizes for the featured images.

    How do I do that? Modify the CSS rules? Should I just use pages? I was told that embedded video doesn’t work on pages so that’s why I used posts.

    Use pages because that's what it's coded for. Video does work in pages.

    Ok so I have to go back and set up and post my entries in pages not posts? I thought that posts were for blogs? I have struggled in the past to decide what to use...posts or pages. I always preferred pages.

    I just reread the comments from the help desk person and she said it was in the widget area that doesn’t take embedded video not the body.

    Also, the reason why I set the pages up as posts is so that my entries show up on the blog page. They weren’t showing up when I used pages. So my question is, do I have to set up both pages and posts so that 1) my entries show up on the blog page and 2) so that I can use the featured pages in the widget area for the top and middle sections? Is this the answer...have duplicate entries...each entry goes on a page and a post rather that either or? This seems to be the answer. Thanks for your help Brad!

    As long as there is not a conflict or it screws up something, I am willing to duplicate the content on a page and a post.
