Hello, I need to have it so when my client clicks “new post” the content pre-existing. So all they’ll have to do is change the “placeholder content” text to reflect what they want to say. Help?
Example of how I'd like the dummy text in a new post to look:
[tab:Overview]
Placeholder Content
[tab:Amenities]
Placeholder Content
[tab:Map]
Placeholder Content
[tab:Booking]
Placeholder Content
I'm sure there is a simple php solution for this, I just don't know what it is!

You might try something similar to this in your loop code. I have simply added the else section to the logic:
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
<?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page »</p>'); ?>
<?php endwhile;
else
// place default code here
endif; ?>
Haven't tried it, but it makes logical sense.
Here is an example of simple tab code that works fairly niftily:

Note that is it at our old site, hence the IP address.
Hope it helps.

Thank you for the responses! I did end up finding the post-template yesterday. I hadn't thought searching the word "template" would return favorable results. However, it did!
What I'm struggling with now, is to create a panel in the Dashboard that accepts input for "current specials" (it will be a global value). I then need to be able to call the value into a post.
I found a plugin called custom fields shortcode, but the variable it pulls in isn't a global variable that can be pulled into all posts dynamically. So I'm stumped.
The reason for all of this, is I need to use tabbed navigation in posts. I am not sure how to code them in, so I used a plugin that makes the post content look something like this:
[tab:Overview]
Placeholder Content
[tab:Amenities]
Placeholder Content
[tab:Map]
Placeholder Content
[tab:Prices]
(INSERT current special here)
Base price placeholder

I hope I'm being clear enough. I'm new to the Wordpress forums :)
