# Adding editable content above posts

 * I want to have a content area above my posts where I can use the wordpress dashboard
   to edit the content. However, when I go to manage>pages and then to the page 
   which has my blog posts, and try to add text, nothing shows up. I have basic 
   dev skills and I’m wondering if I have to go in and add a line of PHP before 
   the post loop to allow content above it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
   Thanks!

 * Hi
 * When you set a page up as a page to display blog posts, any page content on that
   page is ignored. You can add it into your template using a secondary WP loop.
   I suggest using get_post as it is easy.
 *     ```
       <?php
       $page_id = 2; // substitute page_id of page you want content included from for "2"
       $page = get_post($page_id);
       echo "<p>$page->post_content</p>";
       ?>
       ```
