The about page is indeed a “page”. You can call the header/footer/sidebar by creating a template called about.php in your /wp-content/themes/<your-current-theme> directory which makes calls to get_header, get_sidebar, and get_footer.
My current about.php looks like this:
<?php
/*
Template Name: About
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post">
<h2 class="pagetitle">About Me</h2>
<dl>
<dt>Author:</dt>
<dd><?php the_author(); ?></dd>
<dt>Bio:</dt>
<dd><?php the_author_description(); ?></dd>
</dl>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

ok so would you know how to include the header if it wasnt a page of wordpress.. but seperate from the blog and still be able to call the header without making it in the same directory as your theme?
I.e. i have a font section, and i have a folder for the seperate pages, how would i add the header to those pages?
Why didn’t you ask the owner of the blog? 🙂
It is a Page.
It was done with the Write Page feature of WP
