In this video you’ll learn how to create a WordPress Page. Pages and posts are the two most common content types you’ll use in WordPress. If you’re still not clear on when to use each type of content, be sure to watch the video where I explained the difference between posts and pages.

If you’re not yet up to speed on the WordPress post editing environment, all of the basics are included in this video on how to write a WordPress post.

Also referenced in this video is the tutorial on creating custom WordPress menus.

    Just wanted to leave a Thank You.

    Informative videos that are nice clear and which are easy on the eye and ear.

    May I suggest a video on navigation of the website.
    Since most bloggers design the website themselves it might be useful to explain how the navigation options for the website with menubars that are page or category based and sidebar widget for pages, categories and tags.

    @craig – The sections and menus are part of the WordPress theme. Like most CMS systems, WordPress separates content from presentation. When you create a page in WordPress you’re really just creating the content section of the page. The rest of the page is generated by the Theme. See the video on WordPress themes for more detail.

    What software did you use for the training videos? I am looking for something that would have that circle highlight feature that you use. Thank you.

    @gary – These videos were made with a Mac program called Screenflow. If you’re using Windows the closest equivalent would be Camtasia.

    This is informative but I got stuck on the Page Atributes section as you don’t explain how to create a Parent page. On the Parent pull down the parent page is already created.

    Hi Tonia,
    Parent pages are just regular pages. Any page can be a parent.
