Using Wordpress pages as Drupal 7's "basic page" type of content

Drupal 7 divides content in two types:

Article

Use articles for time-sensitive content like news, press releases or blog posts.

Basic page

Use basic pages for your static content, such as an 'About us' page.

Then, that content can be inserted into blocks (located in the header, content, footer etc.)

I wonder if I can get the same resul开发者_运维知识库t by using Wordpress Pages as Drupal's Basic pages with the get_pages function.

So one Page will have many "child pages" displaying content in different blocks within the parent page.

Because right now, I'm using "Posts" filtered as "Categories" in order generate editable static content.

Which one is the best way to go?

WordPress Pages are designed -- much like Drupal's Basic Page -- for static information. wp_list_pages(); (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_pages) displays a list of pages as links in a tree, get_pages displays pages not as a tree.

I don't know because I'm not sure what theme you're using, but it probably wouldn't be too hard to write a widget that displays info from pages. You can really use either pages or posts, it doesn't matter too much. The convention is to use Pages for static content -- see: http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
