a few beginner questions

  • Thanks for reading this.

    I’ve downloaded the software and created several static pages. I want to use wordpress as the web softward and won’t have a blog.

    I am stuck trying to figure out the following:

    1. How do I make pages sub pages of the main page?
    2. How do I upload what I’ve created in wordpress so it appears on line?
    3. How do I change the content of the sidebar so the subpages are listed there?

    Thanks a million.

  • 1. You can simply link to any of the pages you created from the main page.
    Check the links WP has generated for you an simply use these when you edit a page, and create a link from your main page.

    2. Assuming you have not created a site yet online, you need to first set up the WP application on your web host’s server. After you’ve got things up and running, you can then backup your local database containing all your settings, pages and posts, and then restore those on your live site.

    3. That depends on your theme, but the default theme does that already I think. You can check the template code to see how it’s done there, and then use it in your own theme (if you have one).

    Thank you so much for answering!

    Sorry to be such a beginner, but I can’t figure out how to link to the main page. I can’t find the links WP has generated… or when I think I have found them they are talking about blogrolls…

    Sounds like once I’ve linked successfully the info will appear in the sidebar automatically. I’m downloaded through the host already (go daddy) so maybe when I’m ready to upload to the web I’ll call their customer support number.

    Again, thanks a million for your reply.
