new pages created removing sidebar

    How do I find the new pages(links) I create?

    Keep in mind I am looking at this like someone who has html/css knowledge. Like my other sites all my html/php pages are in my root folder. I am trying to understand how this system works and where are the files etc.

    For instance I created a contact us page. Where is that created and how can I edit the page. I know I can edit it in the wp cp, and add text etc but what if I want to add divs etc etc.. I guess what I want to do is open that page in dreamweaver and do things in there then re-upload to the server.

    My guess is this is where a database comes in and thus it’s stored somewhere else?? Hence the (?page_id=44) Since I do not fully understand PHP and databases etc I am lost.

    It was nice to be able to edit the css and control the theme, but some of the bigger changes are going to be difficult to figure out.
    For instance removing the sidebar from the contact us page. How would I do that?

    The twenty ten theme has an option to remove the sidebar. This relax theme does not.

    Thanks

    It is stored in your database.

    what if I want to add divs etc etc.

    Create a custom page template.

    Custom page template again.

    Ok.

    I think I understand.

    Once the pages are created in the database they cannot be edited like my css or html pages or php pages etc in a standard type website.
    Only the content can be edited using the control panel or where content was deemed editable in the original template?

    If I want a custom style page I need to define those pages in my templates and base my custom pages off of those templates?

    You can edit any of your template files at any time via Appearance -> editor. The content can also be edited via the Admin area, so you have total access to everything.

    As for custom page templates, have a look at the page I linked to above.
