 ====== WordPress - Add content and create new pages ======
+===== How do I add content and create new pages? =====
+Let’s quickly run through some of the basics:
+===== Adding and editing pages =====
+Want a “Services” page, or an “About Me” page?
+. Look along the sidebar in the WordPress Dashboard for “Pages” -> “Add New”.
+. Once you’ve clicked, you’ll find a screen that looks a lot like what you’ve maybe seen in Microsoft Word.  Add text, images and more to build the page you want, then save it when you’re done.
+==== Adding pages to the menu ====
+If you want your new page to be linked to in your navigation bar,
+. Save any changes you’ve made to the page by clicking “Update”
+. Click “Appearance” -> “Menus” in the sidebar of the WordPress Dashboard
+. Find the page you created and add it to the list by clicking the checkbox next to it and then “Add to Menu”.

+If you have a blog on your website, “Posts” will be where you turn to next. You can use different categories to group similar posts.

+If you want to add a blog to your website, you can use different categories and posts. Let’s say you want to create a category named “Blog”. To do so, simply add it to your menu and start making posts.
+Here’s what you need to do:
+a. Create a new category by going to “Posts -> Categories”
+OR
+b. Create a blog post by going to “Posts -> Add New”. Once you’ve finished writing your blog post, you need to add the right category for it.
+Once you’ve created your category, simply add it to the menu, and you’re in business!
