Posts are upright supports—wooden posts hold up fences, metal posts anchor signs.

A post is also a position or station: a military post, a trading post, or someone's post within an organization.

To post is to station someone: Guards were posted at the entrance.

In the digital sense, a post is a message published online—to social media, a forum, or a blog—and to post is to publish one: She posts daily updates.

To post something physically is to display it publicly or send it by mail (chiefly British): post a notice, post a letter.
