Summary: You’ve now learned how to set setup your WordPress website.If you’ve followed our directions to this point, your site will look very similar to the below screenshot. This is a good start, but we need more than the default sample page. Next, I’m going to show you how to add pages and posts to your WordPress site.Adding Pages to WordPressLet’s go to the dashboard. You should know how to do this by now, but if not, I’ll show you once more. After this, I’ll trust you’ve gotten the hang of going back and forth between the demo site and the dashboard. Once you’re looking at the dashboard, click on the Pages tab in the left column. We have one page, Sample Page, and you’ll see that listed in the main area of the dashboard.
