   Hello.
   I can't understand how I'm placing a article or some other stuff in a another section of the website.
   When i write something it will just be located in the frontpage. How can I get my articles in "about" or "photoshop" instead of "home"

   All of your new posts are shown on your Home page in date order (assuming you have your front page set to display posts). If you want your posts to also appear under other headings, create new top level categories called "About" or "Photoshop" and ensure that the posts are also filed under these categories.

   But how do I create top level categories?
   I have created pages such as Photoshop, and maked it by using "New Page" in the admin-panel.
   I have also created a categorie, but they arent displaying at the side of "Home" if you know ehat I mean.

   Then you did it wrong.

   This is a common mistake. The reason for it is that typically themes show Pages as like tabs on the top of your site or some such thing. However, the theme is doing that, it's entirely possible to change the theme to have it show categories there instead. Then you can click a category in that bar and get a list of posts in that category.

   Basically, you're going to edit your theme and replace, or add to, the call to wp_list_pages with a similar call to wp_list_categories. Then you'll get categories in the same way you get pages.

   Ok.

   But when you are saying "the call ti wp_list_pages with a similiar call to wp_list_categories" I dont get it.

   What do I have to do? Which file should I edit?

   I can't tell you that. I can't see your site or your theme or anything like that. What you change depends on what you have.

   Well, your theme is what controls what shows up on your site, so yes, you have to edit it. Basically, you're wanting to display category links instead of, or in addition to, page links. So you need to find where your theme creates those links and change it.
