 * Hello all,
 * I am exploring the “page” feature in WordPress, and wanted to know how to control
   the look and feel.
 * I would like to make my Page the same format as my index.php in terms of style
   font and title image and what not.
 * Any pointers appreciated!

 * Copy index.php to the page.php template and save it.

 * Shouldn’t just deleting page.php do it?

 * Could be – I don’t use pages so don’t really know.

 * Hello all, making the contents of page.php the same as index.php basically did
   it.
 * I’m confused though. index.php has “the loop” and everything inside of it… Why
   does this work!? The concept of pages is so different from regular posts that
   I thought this would never work.
 * Can anyone explain this to me?

 * A WordPress Page is, technically, a post. It lives in the same database table
   as all your other posts; but it contains a special flag to tell WordPress that
   it lives outside the normal date-based navigation system.
 * So you do, in fact, need a Loop to make Pages work.
