My Best WP Tip

Before I start messing with the Presentation part of the template - headers, footers, ect ...

I copy and paste the orginal code in a txt doc and save. Whobuddy has that saved my bacon.

Onto your Page Creation problem...

Try this ...

Dashboard
Write
Write Page

Or

Dashboard
Manage
Pages
Creat New Page >> link

I agree with both of you, WP has the worst documentation. Roy bought this book and said it parts of it were helpful.
