 *     ```
       <style type="text/css">
       <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
       </style>
       <?php /* Template Name: WPBeginnerT1 */ ?>
   
       <?php get_header(); ?>
       <?php get_footer(); ?>
       ```
   
 * This is my code so far for a .php, it works great and it fetches the header and
   footer. What I now want to do is build blog to show posts for a staff blog.
 * What code will I need to add to do this?

 * You can also look in the default theme for example code.

 * If I had a loop, where do you publish / tag the posts to make them appear on 
   that page?

 * You can use the loop to get all posts, or give them a tag/category and customize
   the loop to only get posts from that tag/category.

 * I was able to get the loop working, it displays posts in a specific category 
   and it links back to the post.
 * Any advice on how to make / add description box, comment button, share buttons
   to the items looped. Similar to posts listed on the front page?

 * Look at the code for the front page and do the same thing.
