You Already Know How to Write a Page
Let’s start writing a page. You may notice how similar it is to writing a post very quickly. First, log into your dashboard. (You can follow the steps from Getting Started.) Now that you are logged in you are looking at your blog dashboard. At the top of the page you should see something like this:

You might notice the links from the Getting Started post on the left side of the image. On the right side of the image are two buttons, one will start a new page, the other will start a new post. You can follow the steps from “Getting Started” and after you click on Write you can click Page, or you can just click the “Write a New Page” link right now.
The “Write Page” page should be on your screen. It looks remarkably like the Write Post page, it is identical with the exception of only a few options. When you write a post it is usually in the moment. The post is about what you are doing, or thinking, or have an opinion on at that very moment. A page on the other hand is something similar but not the same.
Once you have finished writing your page you might have noticed on the right side of the screen the very same publishing controls as on the Write Page screen. Just check back on the Getting Started post for reminders.
Congratulations, you have written your first page!
