 * I am a student attempting to learn how to convert hardcoded pages into a WordPress
   theme. I have my index page running smoothly, that is not an issue. However, 
   I cannot seem to figure out how to add the rest of my pages in. I have created
   a wordpress navigation, but I don’t know where to put my other pages and how 
   to link them through WordPress. I have tried putting my second page, portfolio.
   php, into the folder where my index.php is and linking to it, but that doesn’t
   work.
 * I have been searching for hours to find a tutorial that goes over how to add 
   my other static html pages, but every tutorial I have found only talks about 
   how to add the index. Any help would be deeply appreciated.

 * This is the guide to create a wordpress theme: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development](https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development)
 * When you create a second template (correctly) you will see it appear in the dropdown
   under Page Attributes -> Template.
