I'm developing a WP site with a blog. I want to show the blog posts by assigning blog as a parent category to all posts and using that category archive page to show the blog posts.I would not use the standard posts page in WP.Then I read this: (with Blog Page he refers to the posts page.)The Blog Page gives out several indicators to social sites and Search Engines that it's a Blog. First and foremost, it's called a Blog, it has a collection of Titles with URLs assigned to them and some Themes even include Microdata. It's paginated, and with HTML5 multiple Article HTML-tags also may be output. [...] In fact, WordPress requires a Blog page to be available. EDIT: Quoted from this thread.Why would search engines care with what method the page showing blog posts is built? The parent category archive page also is a collection of Titles with URLs etc. and would be almost 100% the same as a posts page AKA blog page.
Does Google really care if your WordPress site has a blog page or not?
