The person who installed my blog for me did not do something whereby I can add new pages up at the top (tabs). When I try to add a new page it comes out like a post. What do I need to do and how to be able to add a new page?
Thanks. I am new to this.
link to site?
also header.php code would help.

I have tried to find header.php but don't see it. Would you know which directory it should be in?
wp-content/themes/nameofyourtheme/header.php

thanks, I found it. is this all I have to do is edit this? if so, I can do it. I thought it was something in the setup that wasn't enabled. please respond as I am a little nervous about editing this until I hear back from you. And, thanks so much for your kindness.

You need to access wp-admin/write and create a new Page.
look at where the link points to (page_id=4)... do you have a page with that id? For instance if you look at your Sponsors link it's pointing to page_id=2...

I added this in header.php:
Test<span class="hide"> | </span>
but, I changed it to id = 190 just in case 4 was already taken. there's nothing with 190 yet. I am hoping that is what you were referring to.
Anyway, when I go into Page management, it's not there.
When I go into write page, "Test" is not under Page Parent.
I can't find it yet I can see it on the blog.
What do you suggest next? Please give me a little more detail if you can. I am having a hard time with this. Thanks again.

You can't add Page links without creating the Page in Write Page.

it doesn't work in write page. that's the reason I started this post. something is wrong with it.

What's not working in Write Page? What error message are you getting? What symptoms are you seeing? What wp version is this?

Thank you for trying to help me. It's possible that it is me not doing something right but I have tried and tried. Here's my steps:
I go to write, write page, fill in page title and some text, click "create new page". it says " ! page saved. Manage pages >> ', I click on "managed pages" and I don't see a new page. I click on view site and see nothing. I am expecting to see a new page at the top of the blog where I already have "Home, Sponsors, Contact". When I click on the pages tab in the Page Management Section I see it listed under "Sponsors and Contact" with id 190, but when I click this link:
http://www.tampa-real-estate-blog.com/donna-page/
It looks like a "Post" not a "Page".
I asked the person who set up my blog what's wrong and he said that in the version that I have, Pages can't be created this way that it is an HTML change instead. So, I went looking for the correct file to edit. jetshack suggested that I edit the header.php page, which I did and added "Test". Test does show up as a Page but I can't edit the page. There is no where to bring it up and add text to it. I believe my version is 2.0.1 -- not sure where to find that info.
I also think that the person who set this up didn't do something right but I can't seem to get much help out of him so I think he just doesn't know.
Can you advise me what is wrong and what I can do to fix this? I would like to add multiple pages at the top of the blog. If it is a series of HTML files that I need to edit, I can do that if someone can tell me which ones and what I need to change. If it's a permission problem, please tell me where / how to change that as well.
You can email me at info@lipplyrealestate.com if that is easier. Thanks for your help!

Well, that's been the procedure for creating pages in all the two plus years I've been using wp. It's not an html thing. (Only way it could be an html thing would be if you were doing a "normal" static html site, and wp is DECIDEDLY not that - and in a normally set up wp install, you can't use html pages except to link out to them).
Now, your version is shown at the bottom of all the screens in the wp-admin section. If you're using anything under 2.0.9 or 2.1.2 (depending on base version), the FIRST THING you need to do is upgrade. You download either of those latest versions from the download link at the top of the forum index page here.

Yes my version is 2.0.1. Thanks for responding. Is it easy to upgrade the blog? I didn't install this and I am really just getting into this. I'm a little nervous to do it. Do you or anyone you know do this for a fee?

Lots of us do side work like this. If you want help with it, you can email me at vkaryl *at* bytehaven *dot* com. I'm actually not really buried right now (clients are on vacation I guess!) so I'd have time to look at it.
