SEO capability on web pages v blog posts

[Joelfarrow]

firstly, apologies if this is a daft question, I am very new to this!

We are about to launch a new website (very exciting) and our CEO is mad about incorprating a "tag cloud" because it looks good! Our web designer therefore has to convert all our web pages to "posts" in order for the tag cloud to pick up the "tagged" words associated with the specific pages (soon to be posts).

Question: With regards to SEO, will the change from "web page" to "post" have any positive or negative effects?

Thanks in advance

Assuming your using WordPress, you could have installed a plugin or functions.php hack to add tags to your pages, which would have been much easier to manage and maintain.

Assuming the URL and the page template is the same, there is really no difference from a SEO standpoint in a page vs post. They are both in essence a "web page".
