   Hi I'm new to WordPress and still finding my way around. I've created a html mockup of the illustrator site in divs with css and now I want to add the content dynamically.

   First off I chose to put the positioning statement text in a "pages" page rather than a post. I've been reading through the docs and can't seem to find the template tag I'm looking for. Any help would be much appreciated.

   Dave,

   I don't think I know what you are talking about. Based on your description, I am very confused.

   So, I believe you want to grab the content of a page and output it in a certain location? This is possible by creating a new WP-Query class, but this does mean you're making an extra database request, so use sparingly.

   <?php
   // Create second WordPress loop
   $page_content = new WP_Query( 'pagename=page-slug' );
   
   while( $page_content->have_posts() ) : $page_content->the_post();
   	// Your content output goes here
   	echo '<h2>';
   	the_title();
   	echo '</h2>';
   	the_content();
   endwhile;
   
   // Don't forget to reset the post data!
   wp_reset_postdata();
   ?>

   Also see the codex entry of WP_Query

   Where it says new WP_Query( 'pagename=page-slug' );
   I put WP_Query( 'page_id=8' );

   That's all I needed to call up a particular page. Thanks.
