• Hi I am very new to WprdPress and was wondering if there was a way to add normal pages such as About Us etc. In addition where is the best place to get plugins.
    I have been using mambo and postnuke but am on a search for a standards compliant CMS to use – so need the feature of adding basic pages easily.
    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks for that speedy reply. I guess what I am wondering if it is possible either through a plugin or other to make it a simple as “Add New Page” for a user you may set the site up for. This page will automatically appear in a menu once published.
    Exactly like the wordpress menu along the top – they have pages that are not part of the blog that I assume are easily updatable and created throught the admin interface.
    I know this pushes the functionality of WordPress from a blogging system to a content management system – buit can it do it?

    Download the EzStatic plugin – http://www.asymptomatic.net/wp%2Dhacks/
    Then create your pages offline..
    Upload them to a folder of your choice.. I personally have them in their own folder off the root and I keep the images for the static pages in there as well.
    Then in the categories add a category and relocate it on the page where you want it by editing the index.php…
    Once you install the plugin and read the directions you will know how to link to your static page..
    then you can edit the static page from within the admin area by going to templates and specifying the page you want to edit in the input field.
    Hope that helps..
    Kind regards,
    gravity
