You normally use pages for information that you want to share with your readers but don’t expect to update frequently. Pages appear in the Pages widget and in navigation tabs across the top of some themes.

Examples of pages commonly used by bloggers include:

  • An About page – for readers find out more about you and your blog. Readers often use it to decide whether to bother subscribing to a blog.
  • Contact page – provides your contact details
  • Info For First Time Visitors! - for new readers to understand how to subscribe to the blog and leave comments

Writing a New Page

You create new pages using the Add New Page Screen in your administration panel. There are two options for accessing your Add New Page screen:

  1. Clicking on Page > Add New in the navigation menu.Image of add new page

Brief Overview of Using Your Add New Page Screen

Your Add New Page screen works very similar to your Add New Post screen except that:

  • You don’t assign categories or tags to pages
  • You can arrange your pages in hierarchies, using sub-pages, to nest pages under other pages
