I go 180 on this one - if there were a plugin to disable editor-created pages, that would be interesting. Especially in Genesis, where category archives have a field for folks to add intro text.

Most of my sites look nothing like blogs - yet every single one relies on posts as the basic unit of communication and categories as the basic unit of organization.

I also use products and product categories in WooCommerce.

This approach may well just be a symptom of my ADD, since my main justification is that I can keep the site structure straight. And the downside is that my users can't just pick a page template for a new look.

Someone actually has to code a block of CSS with a body class to make a post - or set of posts - look different. But that someone is yours truly, and I'm happy to do it.

That said, I do use pages very occasionally - to combine a collection of posts into some bizarre layout that an archive won't conform to easily - and that an editor may want to invoke from the page-templates menu.

For instance, a page comes with a featured image; an archive generally doesn't. And archives outside Genesis don't have intro text.

Stay cool! It's 102° here and climbing.
