Dashboard
Can be used for quick posts or quick stats are nice

Pages
Can have multiple authors
A page is something that lives in the navigation

like pages but they have tags (pages have categories)

Tags can really filter down to the keywords you're interested in
Tag cloud with scale or size (how popular are they or how often they are used)

Post is like a news article

You create it
Assign it to an area of your website (ie header, footer, submenu)
Click add pages (can drag and drop)
identations (Don't do more than 3 levels!) Organizational prep ahead can help with this

rudamentary edit functions (but usually best to edit outside)
can upload videos

Users and Roles
Can have comment sections attached to just certain areas (can self-register so they can post)
Can add New Users to help manage information
Can assign roles

Design and Layout options
Cascading Styles
Typography
