How To Create Your First WordPress Page
First off, let me tell you what a page is. A page is something that you won’t be updating very often. Examples of pages would be – About Me, Contact Me, Privacy Policy, a links page, or a news feed from Full Tilt Poker. A page can also be used as a Welcome message for your WordPress blog instead of using your most recent posts. Businesses switching over to WordPress typically go that route.

From the Dashboard click on “Pages.”

Now click on “Add New.”
You will be taken to a screen that looks similar to the Posts page with several exceptions. There will be no area for Excerpts, post tags, or even categories. You do, however, have a new option on the right hand side called “Attributes.”

Once you have created a page you will have the option of placing new pages beneath it. This is known as the Parent-Child relationship. One level deeper and it is known as the Parent-Child-Grandchild relationship. Visually it looks something like this…

That’s right it looks just like post categories do. Page Parents operate in the same fashion as category parents.
Depending on which theme you are using you’ll also have the option of selecting different “templates.” A template is simply how the page looks to the visitor. Some themes have the option, some themes don’t. There are plenty of WordPress plug-in’s out there to let you start configuring what will and won’t show up depending on what part of the site your visitor is on.
Once you’ve written your page simply click “Publish.”
