Creating and Using Pages in WordPress

Anonymous User7878 18-Nov-2011

In WordPress, you can write either posts or pages. When you're writing a regular blog entry, you write a post. Posts automatically appear in reverse chronological order on your blog's home page. On the other hand Pages are for content such as "About Us," "Contact Us," etc..

You can use Pages to organize and manage any amount of content. In general, Pages are very similar to Posts in that they both have titles and content and can use your site's presentation templates to maintain a consistent look throughout your site. Pages, though, have several key distinctions that make them quite different from Posts.

Creating Pages:

To create a new page in your website using WordPress follows the following steps:

Step 1: Login to WordPress Admin Panel (Dashboard)

Step 2: Click on the ‘Pages’ menu options and select ‘Add New’

Step 3: Fill all the appropriate information of Pages

Step 4: If you are ready to publish the page then click on ‘Publish’ button.

Let’s see the complete demonstration on these steps.

Open the login page and login in to WordPress Admin Panel (Dashboard).
