Section 7: Creating a Page

In this section we will go over how to create a basic page.

A basic page is made up of 3 basic parts

  1. A title
  2. A story
  3. An image (in some cases you don’t even need the image but I would suggest otherwise)

The big difference between the page and the post is that the page can draw from multiple sources to convey a point.
