Let’s Start With “Adding” A Page

After you log on to your WP admin, on the dashboard you’ll find a Pages link on the left sidebar. Once you click it, it will take to the Pages that you have posted on your WordPress. Now don’t worry if yours was empty, it supposed to be that way, because you haven’t posted any pages before.
Now on the sidebar, you’ll find an Add New link under Pages, click it to add a new page.

Now as you can see, you have many options on your page, here’s what all of them mean.

1. As it says on the image, this is where you add a title to your page… The URL of the page will be determined from here. For example, I want to create a page called “Contact Me”. So in the space given I will add the title “Contact Me”, note that capitalizing letters won’t effect your URL as for other symbols such as “? ! * % $” and so on.
   Now if you have already made your URLs setting to be “simple” as I described on my “Simple URLs” tutorial, then this setting should apply to your pages as well as your posts.
2. This setting is the same that you have for your posts, you can edit your page content visually or by using HTML”.
3. These buttons make your editing a little easier, just hover (place your mouse over them) over one of them to know what they are for.
4. This is simply where you place your page content, you can post text, links, pictures, videos… etc.
5. This is basically where you can make more settings for your page. For example, you can save your page as a Draft for later use, you can Preview your page the same way other people will view it, you can Schedule your page to be published at a given time, you can also choose to set your page Visibility to be Private or Password Protected.
6. This button is what you click when you are completely done with your page, when you click this, it makes your page visible to whoever you wish it to be.
   Don’t worry if you click this and you forgot to add something you wanted to add, because you can simply Edit your page after it’s been published.
7. This is a setting is for the Folder Effect that allows you to have Parent Pages and Sub-Pages.
   A “Parent Page” acts as a folder to allow other pages to be included within the parent or “Main” page.
   For example, you have a page called “Downloads” which includes other pages such as “Brushes”, “Scripts”, “Smiley’s” and so on. So this means that my “Downloads” page is a Parent Page and the other pages are Sub-Pages. This is how my URL will look like:
   • For the Parent page: http://mysite.com/downloads/
   • For the Sub-page: http://mysite.com/downloads/brushes/

   Now to make this Folder Effect work, you can simply leave this option aside if you are creating a Parent page, or you can choose a page from the drop-down list if you are creating a Sub-page. (This list includes all your WP pages)!
   Using this setting makes your pages more organized for you and for your visitors. Here’s how my little drop-down list looks like after I made all my pages using the Folder effect. As you can see below, the Parent pages are clear and the Sub-pages are organized right under their Parents.
   

8. This is for adding Custom Fields to your page, it’s a little bit more advanced for WP beginners. And hopefully I will make a tutorial about it later on.
9. Finally, this is for comments, you can either Allow them or Close them.

After you log on to your WP admin, on the dashboard you’ll find a Pages link on the left sidebar. Once you click it, it will take to the Pages that you have posted on your WordPress.
This will take you to a list of the pages you have already published before.
